Since it was launched to critical acclaim in 2003, Beyond Good & Evil has been at the center of too many sequel rumors to remember. The brainchild of Rayman creator Michel Ancel, the original BG&E was an unfortunate commercial blunder from Ubisoft who saw success the same year with titles like, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. Nearly five years later, new rumors suggest the sequel could find its way onto a PC and consoles near you.
According to a report on PSLegion, PSM3's 'The Insider' reignited the rumor campfire claiming a BG&E sequel would, "most likely ... see the light of day."
Other PC related rumors mentioned in the article include: a Leisure Suit Larry movie may be in the works, rated PG we're sure and Treyarch has spent two years on Call of Duty 5 instead of the typical nine months. Unless those two years were spent turning into Infinity Ward color us skeptical!
As for the Beyond Good & Evil 2 rumor, our fingers are crossed. Oh, and for those who haven't played Ubisoft's classic third-person adventure game ... shame on you!

Wow, all I can say is I hope this is true. The first BG&E, as you mentioned, was a game that didn't receive the critical acclaim it deserved, instead it flew under the radar and after poor sales faded away.
Here's hoping this one receives the visibility it deserves.
