The Ubisoft Ahead showcase on June 10 might have had some thrilling new footage for Star Wars Outlaws and a reveal for the following Anno sport, Anno 117: Pax Romana, however one beloved Ubisoft IP was manifestly absent. Sure, as soon as once more, Ubisoft had nothing to say concerning the long-awaited Past Good & Evil 2, and never even the primary sport’s remaster was introduced up. Naturally, followers of the sequence can’t assist however be upset by the dearth of reports.
“We now have misplaced once more,” reads one blunt Reddit put up, with a couple of different followers saying they “anticipated nothing and [are] nonetheless let down.” One other Reddit consumer shared a saddening piece of artwork depicting Jade and Pey’j, the protagonists of the primary Past Good & Evil, wistfully observing a photograph of Pey’j as he seems in one of many trailers for Past Good & Evil 2. Stated put up is appropriately captioned with the favored “Hi there darkness, my previous good friend” meme.
Loads of followers admitted they weren’t stunned by the entire lack of Past Good & Evil 2, however had a minimum of thought the primary sport’s remaster would make an look. One baffled fan wrote, “I wasn’t anticipating BGE 2 within the Ubisoft Ahead occasion, however no remaster is insanity.” One other concurred, saying, “I can’t fathom why they wouldn’t even point out the anniversary version–not even a teaser or obscure launch window? Such a disgrace.”
The confusion from followers is warranted. The Past Good & Evil remaster was formally introduced in November 2023 (after it had by chance leaked on-line), with Ubisoft promising to share extra info in early 2024. We’re now in June, and there hasn’t been a single replace on its launch. Contemplating this remaster is being completed to have a good time the unique sport’s twentieth anniversary (which was in 2023), you’d suppose Ubisoft would need it out sooner moderately than later. We do nonetheless have one other six months left of 2024, so hopefully the remaster will nonetheless launch earlier than the top of the yr, however it’s comprehensible why followers are anxious about it given Ubisoft’s silence on the matter.
As for Past Good & Evil 2, who even is aware of what’s change into of that venture. Some contemplate the sport vaporware at this level, with it being roughly seven years since its E3 2017 debut. It’s additionally probably the most delayed AAA sport of all time, surpassing the earlier report holder, Duke Nukem Ceaselessly, in 2022. Given its continued absence at Ubisoft’s gaming showcases, I wouldn’t be stunned if the sport has undergone some important overhauls and can find yourself wanting fairly completely different to its preliminary reveal… assuming it ever really releases.
