I hope to God this isn't true, it would be a freaking shame. I finished Beyond Good & Evil last summer for Gamecube, and it was really something else. The teasers for this game were just awesome, too. What's with Ubisoft these days?
Well, if it was canceled, hopefully for a good reason. Maybe it didn't turn out as good as we or they hoped, and didn't want to release a bad game, which is totally fine.
But sad panda anyway.

I know, hence the small text (that's the best I could do to hide my shame).
I missed it the first time around, and though I own it on Steam, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Beyond Good & Evil was one of my favorite games of the previous gen.
This makes me very sad....

I wish publishers would take note at a games overall life span...other than the first 6 months of release....the fact remains that the original still sells after 7 years(steam anyone?) And has a high Critic rating, which a Hardware Generation later, is still being played by gamers who didnt get it the first time.........so word of mouth alone could very well make BG&E2 a high seller.
Shame on Ubi...for having little faith.

I never really played it but my brother rented it and I watched him play and it looked....meh so I never really got the hype as looking at the game and seeing it in motion still never moved me enough to want to play it.

I feel for the fans of the first game, but I just don't care for Ubisoft games. I hope this survives so fans can taste part 2
It's false, definitely.

Besides, I don't think it should have been trusted originally so much because of the following reasons:
1. The source is a small, unknown site that doesn't get much traffic ( look at their forums, there's almost no activity, same for the comments on the articles ).
2. They also don't mention the name of the guy who he would be making a studio with.
3. Michel Ancel loves Beyond Good & Evil, he wouldn't just abandon it, certainly not so far in the process.
4. Michel Ancel wants to go back to 2D? I think he said somewhere that he loved his 3D games more...

@Mrandydixon,
"I missed it the first time around, and though I own it on Steam, I just haven't gotten around to it yet."
You and I are in the same exact boat. I too own it on Steam and haven't gotten around to it, yet.

I really doubt they would make a big deal of actually producing a trailer only to cancel it. Two years isn't that much in video game development anymore and Ubisoft left Splinter Cell in the dark for 4 years before Conviction actually was released.
That's fine. I love Beyond Good & Evil, but let's not assume there is a requirement to give every good game a sequel, especially one that had such poor sales. It will always stand as a classic on its own. And I won't be disappointed by something that never existed, so I'll just be happy with what I have.
Uh, it seems like nobody here has even read the article I posted.
THIS RUMOR IS FALSE, DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
http://www.gameblog.fr/news_15707_michel-ancel-quitterait-ubisoft-c-est-faux
I translated that here:
"According to the information of the Montpellier website WootGaming ( that some here know for it's "inspiration" ), Michel Ancel, the creator of Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil and emblematic figure at Ubisoft, would be quitting the Montpellier studio, and abandon his project BG&E2. Just like that.
If we tell you about this rumor, it's because the information spreads over the internet at light speed, making lots of players panic. To be sure we have called Ubisoft France and members of the Ubi Montpellier team.
Don't worry: this information is completely false, denied by Ubisoft press and our sources in the studio... and the project Beyond Good & Evil 2 is more than ever on track. Besides, E3 could be a good time to prove it in a brilliant way..."

I suppose the question if this is true is has it it been canned because Ancel left or did Ancel leave because it was canned?
In an ideal universe we would have Beyond Good and Evil 2, Psychonauts 2, and an Okami sequel that isn't on DS.

I played the first one and found it to be slightly above average at best. I feel like I missed something since I didn't adore it like everyone else did.
That said, the sequel looked really interesting and I was looking forward to it. Hope this isn't true.

Its was a game worth checking out. If you don't dig it, that's fine but at the very least give it a shot.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish Ubi would put BG&E and Prince of Persia Sands of Time on XBL MarketPlace. My 360 is now my gaming platform of choice, and there are plenty of old gems getting some added life on the 360. Based on THAT reaction, I'll bet they'd find the sequel to be worth making. /hopeful
Initial thought: No.
In retrospect: Hopefully a publisher picks up the game and does something with it. =P
