Michel Ancel has revealed that a sequel to Beyond Good & Evil is in development! Rejoice!

We couldn't be happier at N-E Headquarters. Beyond Good & Evil was one of those title that comes along out of the blue, scoops you up, and completely immerses you into its world for the duration. And then afterwards leaves you hungry for more.

Well, creator Michel Ancel (of Rayman fame) has said that more is on the way. Speaking to Jeuxvideo, he has said:

"I've been working on Beyond Good & Evil 2. We have been in production for one year, carrying out tests with a small team. At the moment, it's at the pre-production stage, Ubisoft have not officially given their agreement yet."

"We want to remain within the continuity of the first, a wide variety of game phases with many emotions in the gameplay and in the characters. This time we focus on the future of the planet, and the relationship with the animals."

So while Ubisoft haven't yet green-lit the work-in-progress title, the fact Ancel has not forgotten the project and has been working on it behind the scenes for a year is a great sign. The gaming prodigy usually has a fair say in what he can make at Ubisoft, so we've got everything crossed for an official announcement soon. And a Wii version? You betcha.
