Beyond Good and Evil 2 is a truly mysterious title. Announced at last year's Ubisoft E3 2018 conference, it immediately became one of the most anticipated titles of the next few years. Instead of giving us new clues about the prequel at this year's E3 expo confused the audience even more, as Jade, the protagonist from the first BG&E (released in 2003), returned as a darker, almost evil version of herself.
Ubisoft is ready to explain if the second part of Michel Ancel's story is a prequel, sequel, or an interquel. The third "Space Monkey" report will launch in two weeks, on October 24, 2018. "
We are beyond thrilled to see the community grow so massively and, to celebrate the dedication everyone has shown, we’re happy to announce our next Space Monkey Report to be livestreamed on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook Live Wednesday October 24, 2018 at 6:00 PM CET / 9:00 AM PST," Ubisoft announced. Expect to see some new gameplay from the latest build and details about BGE Fest.
That's not all, as the French publisher has released five brief character description that introduces us to the game's main cast. Most of the characters you've seen in the E3 2018 cinematic trailer are what Ubisoft Montpellier calls “Legendary Characters”: elite officers that you will meet and interact with along the way as you play through
Beyond Good and Evil 2. Be sure to check it out down below:
JADE: "There are many legends about this young ‘demoness’ hunting down and slaying pirates throughout System 3, so coming face-to-face with her usually doesn’t end well for a pirate crew."
PEY’J: "Chief Cook and a familiar face to most of you Space Monkeys who know and love Pey’j from the original Beyond Good and Evil! In this prequel, he’s still the beloved-uncle type who believes in tough love and has a penchant for a certain Old-Earth alcohol, which is the not-so-secret ingredient in the dishes he cooks up for the crew."
UMA: "Chief Medical Officer, dubious oracle of Indian ancestry and a devotee of Shiva. In the trailer, she uses an advanced acupuncture technology with needles that turn red when they detect toxins."
CALLUM: "Ingenious Chief Engineer with Scottish roots (and the accent to go with it!) and the only officer on the Gada good enough to play against the Ship AI (according to her)."
THE GADA’S AI: "This smooth-talking brainiac has a thing for Callum, with whom she’s seen playing chess on the engineering deck. She can be found at different locations throughout the ship attending to the crew’s needs."
