Beyond Good & Evil 2 New Mission Details
- A new treasure hunt mission leads players to collect exclusive cosmetic rewards pertaining to her childhood as Jade progresses through Hillys.
Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition will run up to 4K high definition, 60fps with improved graphics, and make further adjustments to controls and audio. The game will follow Jade, a jack-of-all-trades hitwoman, spy, and investigative reporter who works alongside a resistance group to uncover an alien conspiracy. Beyond Good & Evil is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time with one of Ubisoft's most lovable protagonists, but while fans are surely overjoyed at the prospect of enjoying Jade's adventures in 4K, the community is still holding out hope for the sequel.
Ubisoft first hinted at a sequel to Beyond Good & Evil with a trailer back in 2008. After that, more than a decade passed before anyone heard word of the sequel again. Beyond Good & Evil 2 made a surprise appearance at E3 2017, where it was revealed that the sequel wasn't a sequel at all, but rather a prequel detailing Jade's life before the events of the 2003 title. Ubisoft hosted a Beyond Good and Evil 2 live stream in anticipation of E3 2019, but the presentation left many questions unanswered. So little information has been provided regarding Beyond Good and Evil 2 that leakers are being forced to fill in the gaps. Two years later, Netflix revealed it was working on a live-action adaptation of Beyond Good and Evil spearheaded by Rob Letterman, director of Detective Pikachu.
