Beyond Good and Evil’s new remaster further emphasizes the need for Beyond Good and Evil 2 and integrates the upcoming prequel into the original game.
WhenUbisoft first announced Beyond Good and Evil’s 20th Anniversary Editionlast month, the publisher revealed it would have a “narrative link” between the remaster and the long-gestating Beyond Good and Evil 2. As first noted byEurogamer, the video below has trawled through the 20th Anniversary Edition to show exactly what that “narrative link” is.
The new stuff basically takes the form of a treasure hunt, where protagonist Jade can obtain a number of items which in turn unlock some tantalizing items. They might even be new outfits you can equip on characters in the 20th Anniversary Edition, like the outfit that Uncle Pey’j was originally seen wearing in a Beyond Good and Evil 2 trailer many, many years ago.
The treasure hunt items themselves, though, are items that have been left for Jade to recover by characters from Beyond Good and Evil 2, which is a prequel set years before the original game. You might happen upon items from Knox the Monkey, for example, a brand new character in Beyond Good and Evil 2, basically introducing the newcomer for veteran players of the original.
In short, we’re meeting the crew of the Gada in these new additions to Beyond Good and Evil, in plot threads that you’d assume would be picked up on in Beyond Good and Evil 2, whenever it eventually releases. It’s been 16 years sinceUbisoftfirst announced the sequel, which then turned into a prequel, and no release window is yet in sight.
