There’s a list of games in the Xbox 360 calendar section of the Xbox Australia website. It contains something odd.
Under a section headed “Also coming to Xbox 360″, the site lists the following:
* Aliens: Colonial Marines
* Batman: Arkham Asylum
* Beyond Good and Evil 2
* Bioshock 2
* Borderlands
* Brutal Legend
Wait! What?
Beyond Good & Evil 2?
Ubisoft has been coy on the topic of whether of not the sequel has even been announced, despite a very telling yet untitled teaser and some suspicious-looking leaked footage. So seeing it listed on the official Xbox Australia website is very strange.
We asked Ubisoft about it and they said it was a mistake. Hmm…
