It appears that Ubisoft just announced Beyond Good and Evil 2 with an in engine trailer at their UbiDays press event.  This is fantastic, fantastic news.

If you didn't play the original (XBOX/PS2/PC) you missed out on a well written compelling action adventure that always ends up on those lists of "under appreciated classics".  Thankfully it seems enough people did appreciate it.

You can probably pick up the original for pennies these days, and I *think* it's one of the few titles on the Xbox Originals download service on the 360.  No excuses.  (If it isn't, just get Fahrenheit instead!).

There's a trailer over here, lovingly stolen from the ever excellent kotaku.
