If you think Ubisoft had abandoned two of its more unique IPs so that it could dedicate an entire team to delaying Splinter Cell: Conviction, then think again. Ubisoft has confirmed that the long-awaited Beyond Good & Evil 2 and the game known only in concept form, I Am Alive, are both still in production.
Geoffroy Sardin, CEO of Ubisoft France could not give any details on the two games, he merely stated that "they are still in production" when asked. Considering both games seemed highly unlikely to ever see the light of day, it's still a step up from previous circumstances.
The last time we heard about Beyond Good & Evil 2, it was allegedly "on hold" until further notice. Before that, an Ubisoft executive tried to deny all knowledge of the title. As far as I Am Alive goes ... well ... who the f*ck cares about that game? Until Ubisoft give us more than a few shreds of ideas, at any rate.
Ubisoft's allergy to BG&E is concerning. No idea why the publisher just doesn't sell the IP to somebody else if it's so distraught by the idea of publishing another one.

I never really understood the interest in I Am Alive. Jade Raymond's not that talented and the game's concept just seems like a copy of Disaster Report/SOS: The Final Escape.
This is a very delicate situation. Just leave everything the way it is. I do not want anything fucking up this title.
I can only hope BG&E2 is a straight sequel, and not borrowing from Assassin's Creed.
Ubisoft... is finally getting on that?!?!
And there's not nearly enough disaster survival games. I mean ever Day of Crisis was pretty decent.
They better not mess this up.
cheers.
XBox 360s are excellent.
And I can't wait for Beyond Good & Evil 2. Is that true that Benoit Sokal and Yoshitaka Amano are involved? These guys are crazy.
Also, jorgedc is amazing. Cheers.
And that spot is, for once, not my penis.
Oh, and give me my fucking Beyond Good and Evil Two! Like seriously? Stop putting this on hold, shaft some fucking Minigame collections instead!
Of course I could be completely wrong, this is pure speculation.
