The second game will take place a few generations before the events of the original Beyond Good and Evil, with the player instead inhabiting a custom-made character in a universe shared by other players.

The first Beyond Good and Evil told the story of Jade, a photojournalist who finds herself at the centre of a resistance movement against human-trafficking aliens. Whether or not that means PS4 and Xbox One or the next generation of consoles (perhaps the PS5) ultimately depends on how much more development time it needs. What is Beyond Good and Evil 2? Creator Michel Ancel told Kotaku that Beyond Good and Evil 2 would run on multiple platforms. That timeframe also leads to the question of which platforms the game will appear on. We’d say it’s likely to be a couple of years still before release. Seeing as the game has languished for several years in development hell, it’s hard to tell exactly how much more time its creators will need before putting a pin in their work. Ubisoft hasn’t yet given any details about a release date for Beyond Good and Evil 2.
