There was a dev talking about Beyond Good & Evil 2 a week or ago, and he was speculating that it was in pre-production for AGES and probably didn’t begin ramping up into full production until after the E3 trailer. He expects it may actually get previewed again within the next year and come out in the next couple if it’s actually being actively worked on now (and the hiring suggests it may be).
