Michel Ancel lists Beyond Good & Evil 2 platforms, Switch not included
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 2 Comments
Since the re-reveal of Beyond Good & Evil 2 at E3 last week, a Switch version really started to look uncertain. Though we maintained a small glimmer of hope about the game releasing on the system, things are even more doubtful now.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 creator Michel Ancel posted a message on his Facebook page today with some news about the project. Platforms were listed in his message, and sadly, Switch is nowhere to be seen.
Given what we’ve learned about Beyond Good & Evil 2 over the past week or so, this was somewhat expected. It’s just a shame that the original rumors were entirely off the mark.

Kotaku once again asked Yoshida about Final Fantasy XIV on Switch in a recent interview. He unsurprisingly said that he’s still very much open the idea. However, he also stressed the importance of having cross-play.
Yoshida’s latest comments are as follows:
