Over the weekend, Beyond Good & Evil creator Michel Ancel gave a talk at the Montpellier in Game conference in France. As a treat, he showed off some concept art and footage from the game’s sequel, the long-in-development Beyond Good & Evil 2.
That’s the good news! The bad news is that, because the talk was behind closed doors, the only way we’re seeing it now is because somebody filmed it on their phone. Meaning everthing’s more than a little shaky.
At around 0:45 you’ll see concept art for the game, while at around 2:20 you can see a fly-around of what looks like the stage from the game’s 2009 demo.
As for what was spoken of, apparently the development team travelled to India for inspiration, while the game’s engine can produce “huge, fully explorable cities”.
