Right ahead of Ubisoft's E3 2018 media briefing that will be held on Monday, June 11, director and writer Michel Ancel has basically confirmed that Pey'j, the best friend and father figure of Jade, the protagonist of the first Beyond Good and Evil will return in the highly-anticipated sequel!
As you might know, Ancel originally planned to make a trilogy around the character of Jade and Pey'j, but the plans have changed and the upcoming game will serve as a prequel to Jade's adventures, as the developer wants to give players an opportunity to visit a huge world and learn its unique origins.
According to senior producer Guillaume Brunier, the game is being made by more than 120 developers from at least four different Ubisoft studios in Montpellier, Sofia, Barcelona, and Bordeaux. The teams are currently focusing on preparing a demo that will be shown at E3 2018 and Ancel has promised during the last live stream that him and his crew are keeping a lot of big surprises for the expo.
