Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition has been leaked by the ESRB for North America for multiple platforms. The game will be released on Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series. The blurb states:
“This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a reporter accompanied by a pig-like companion investigating a conspiracy on the planet of Hillys. From a third-person perspective, players explore fantasy locations, take photos of evidence, solve puzzles, and fight robot and alien enemies. Combat is sometimes fast-paced, with players using melee weapons (e.g., staffs, torches) to strike stylized enemies that generally break apart or vanish into puffs of smoke. One boss battle depicts a squid-like alien stabbed in the eye, with yellow-green splatter effects.”
Originally released by Ubisoft back in 2003, Beyond Good and Evil was an iconic platform adventure, whose sequel has suffered from long delays – perhaps this is a sign that it isn’t too far off. It would certainly make sense to get the hype up in preparation.
