Why does Big Boss have a pig on his back?
I find it weird that BG&E2 being an NX exclusive for launch was one of the earliest rumors we heard this year and somehow it keeps popping up.
Imagine the meltdowns if NX exclusive.
Oh Ubisoft is absolutely on board with it, teasing:
"Michel Ancel has an Instagram account and we recommend that you pay close attention to it..."

Knowing that the chances of having a ubisoft leak is significantly higher than a nintendo leak, I don't think it's that weird
I mean, it's just that BG&E2 is vaporware. I forget when the first trailer of it was shown, but it was a LONG time ago.
Why are you guys surprised it's Beyond 2? We know it's still in production. Question is, is this really NX exclusive?

Knowing and seeing are two different things. We've known about it since 2009 but we haven't seen anything since that leaked "trailer".
NX reveal with BG&E2 exclusive
I believe
What are they doing? Nintendos Ninjas about to take over France and all of Ubisoft lol
We did, a trailer was once shown at a ubi E3 conference (2008) and there was a leaked trailer in 2010 i think

Also, ancel reconfirmed it's in development earlier this year when he is discussing the first game with schafer

After all those years of development and money that has been sunk into it? Nintendo must have paid a lot to secure that game then.Why are you guys surprised it's Beyond 2? We know it's still in production. Question is, is this really NX exclusive?
stop calling for NX exclusivity, that would doom it to failure. all the more so at launch.

Ancel hinted several times that the game was still in development.

Dude, you already have a backlog
So you rather would have it not existing at all than it being a NX game financially backed by Nintendo with minimal risk for Ubisoft ?
In case you haven't seen the rumor yet that people are referring to, it's this: https://www.destructoid.com/rumor-nintendo-funding-beyond-good-and-evil-sequel-346059.phtml
EDIT: Looking at that article, it'll be interesting to see if that rumor and the accompanying NX rumor that the same person provided end up being true.

Beyond Good & Evil 2: Third person action adventure.
There's always the Resident Evil 4 example to hold on to.someone on neogaf in 2005 posted screens from the ps2 version of a super-early bge2. at that point it was one of those wistful 'what could have been' things, since ancel had moved on to 'rayman 4' in the meantime after finishing king kong. the first actual news i remember of bge2 came in 2007 when it was a ps3/360 title. four years later i got the chance to wish ancel luck on the development, and it's been over five years since then.
i can't imagine what it must be like to work on something for so long, and for it to essentially have been stopped and started at least three different times. the only thing that worries me is that it's usually a sign of bad things - out of date ideas and unfinished conclusions to meet that final deadline (duke nukem forever being the poster child for this and why i don't have a lot of faith in the last guardian or final fantasy versus xiii). i just hope that this turns out all right after over a decade of work.

The game's definitely been worked on in the past:
From a LinkedIn profile (won't post a link here):
Anyone working on the revived version of the game over the past 1-3(?) years probably won't be posting about it under its actual name though.
It didn't sell as a multiplatform game either; if Nintendo would back it, it wouldn't be bad at all for the studio.even were that to happen it wouldnt sell which would be bad for the studio and worse for the chances on a 3rd game

Guys. It's happening.
Oh my god!!!
If the NX rumors were real, I'm going to lose it.
