Ubisoft is still staffing its Beyond Good and Evil 2 team, having just launched a new hiring wave to fill a handful of related positions at its Montpellier studio. In addition to signaling that the game remains in development, one of the new listings suggests the long-delayed project is still on track to feature some form of multiplayer mode, which Ubisoft first hinted at over eight years ago.
More than 17 years have passed since Beyond Good and Evil 2 was first teased at E3 2008. After nearly a decade's worth of development hell, the project received a cinematic reveal trailer at E3 2017. In 2022, it became the most delayed AAA game of all time, overtaking Duke Nukem Forever, which took 14 years, 1 month, 2 weeks, and 2 days between its first trailer and release. Over the years, Ubisoft has provided sporadic updates on Beyond Good and Evil 2's development, reassuring fans and investors alike that the project remains in development.
