According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/beyond-good-evil-2-is-still-alive-and-just-added-an-assassins-creed-shadows-writer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IGN<\/a>, Ubisoft Montpellier, which is leading the project&#8217;s development, is just south of the Bordeaux studio.

There have been some rumblings of progress, with Ubisoft posting hints that development was ongoing in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/beyond-good-and-evil-2-shows-signs-of-life-after-nearly-two-decades\/1100-6536533\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 2025<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/beyond-good-and-evil-2-is-still-in-development-after-ubisofts-purge-report\/1100-6537563\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 2026<\/a>.
