The upcoming addition to the Beyond Good and Evil franchise may not be Beyond Good and Evil 2, after all.
As reported by LetsPlayVideoGames, the planned direction for the game will (partially) retell Jade’s origin story from Beyond Good and Evil, and continue to extend beyond the ending on the first game. Additionally, it will also Peyj’s backstory. The intention behind this is to make the game more friendly for someone who is jumping into the game without playing the original, so that they know who Jade and Peyj are. The game will feature a subtitle instead of a sequel number in the title. It also aims to provide some closure for the fans of the first title who were left with a cliffhanger.
It was also reported that a new CG trailer for the title will be shown during the NX reveal. Like the 2008 trailer, it will not be a gameplay reveal, and will be used to announce its NX exclusivity. The game is currently planned to be released during summer 2018, according to LetsPlayVideoGames.
