Ubisoft’s Recent Restructuring and Beyond Good and Evil 2
Ubisoft recently underwent a series of changes, including cancellations, delays, and studio closures as part of a corporate restructuring. The aftermath of these decisions is still unfolding, with proposed voluntary redundancies leading to union plans for a three-day strike in February.
Despite these challenges, one game that managed to escape the cancellations was the long-awaited sequel, Beyond Good and Evil 2. The director, Fawzi Mesmar, reassured fans that the project remains unaffected and urged support for colleagues impacted by the restructuring.
\”My team and I are committed to delivering an exceptional game for our players to enjoy,\” Mesmar stated, emphasizing solidarity with those affected by the recent changes at Ubisoft.
While Beyond Good and Evil 2 continues its development journey, Ubisoft’s restructure has placed the series under the category of “immersive fantasy worlds and narrative-driven universes.” This strategic move aligns the game with other beloved franchises like Anno, Might & Magic, Rayman, and Prince of Persia.
It’s reassuring to know that Mesmar’s team remains intact amidst the industry turmoil. The decision to prioritize certain projects over others reflects Ubisoft’s strategic goals and financial considerations. Until more details emerge or a final decision is made, the fate of Beyond Good and Evil 2 remains uncertain.
