Somehow, Beyond Good & Evil 2 has survived through this slate cleanse, a game that's been in development for 18 years at this point. Beyond Good & Evil 2 was originally unveiled at E3 2008 and shown again at E3 2017, most recently, and Ubisoft has reportedly spent over $500 million keeping it alive, according to Insider Gaming . It's mentioned as part of "Creative House 4" in the press release, alongside Anno, Rayman , and Prince of Persia .
Studios not joining these new creative houses are Ubisoft Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Stockholm because they've been shut down. Ubisoft has also reportedly abolished remote work, calling all employees to the office, which will inevitably result in "soft layoffs" since some people won't or can't come back. The company also plans to close more studios over time as part of this strategic overhaul, but the exact number wasn't disclosed.

gamerk316 Ubi should no longer be considered an AAA publisher. It also looks like they're planning a sale, given their premium IPs were protected from the rest of Ubisoft. To me, every indication is Ubisoft is going to be broken up fairly soon. Reply
