If it ever comes out, Beyond Good and Evil 2 may take home the record for the longest development period in video game history. It’s been 17 years and counting, but Ubisoft has sent out a job listing that suggests development on the follow-up to Beyond Good and Evil is still in progress.
Ubisoft has posted a job on Hitmarker for a technical sound designer for Beyond Good and Evil 2. The role calls for the person in question to have the duties of both a sound designer and an audio technical lead with an emphasis on creating audio assets, as well as proposing and integrating audio designs.
More intriguingly, the listing reconfirms that Beyond Good & Evil 2 will be a prequel to the original game that offers “a seamless experience of exploration and space piracy across a solar system full of exotic locations, colorful characters and mysteries to uncover, solo or with friends.” That suggests the sequel will have multiplayer capabilities
