Update: Bumped to the top. Perhaps there’s some hope for Beyond Good & Evil 2 on Switch after all, even if it’s small. Creator Michel Ancel said on his Instagram page that platforms aren’t announced. Make of that what you will. Again though, unless we hear about a Switch version, we won’t be posting about the game again.

Original: Ubisoft re-revealed Beyond Good & Evil 2 during its media briefing this week. Platforms weren’t announced at the time, but despite a few rumors of it being on Switch, a release on Nintendo’s console is unfortunately looking unlikely.

Ubisoft is letting fans register their interest in a Space Monkey Program as a way of contributing to Beyond Good & Evil 2’s development. Right now, the only platforms listed are PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC – Switch is nowhere to be seen. Retailers have also started to take pre-orders and Switch is sadly absent.

It definitely would have been nice had Beyond Good & Evil 2 ended up on Switch, especially given how the first one was on GameCube. But unless we hear otherwise, this will probably be the final time we post about the game here.

This information comes from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot…

“What is fantastic about working with Nintendo and with Miyamoto in particular is that you are working with the best. It’s easy to work with the smartest people in the industry and they have a great understanding of what works and we are very often on the same page about how to solve a problem.

I travel a lot for work, but thanks to the Switch I’ve been able to play Zelda. It’s a great game and we can learn a lot about how we make games by looking at what Nintendo has done.”

In a recent GamesIndustry interview with the creative director of Starlink: Battle for Atlas, Laurent Malvill explains why him and his team have decided to make the game and bring life back to toys-to-life in the market.

“We think innovation can really bring life back into this market. We think that toys-to-life brought a lot of younger players into video games, and that was great. But we think as they grew up, the expectation grew with it. So for us, we didn’t want to do just another one like those games. It was important for us to innovate in this category. We didn’t want to innovate on just the toy itself – and we think we did do that – but also to innovate with the huge open world. We’re not talking down to the players. This is a big open world that you can spend time in.

“We think the toy is the whole game. That is the beauty of it – having that modular starship on-top of a controller. You don’t open a complex menu or anything, it is just there. You just grab the weapon, put it on and it appears right away. Or if you want another pilot, because I want to use his special ability in that fight, it is just there and it is the simplest way of doing it. And those collectibles, those starships, those pilots, what is beautiful is that once you’ve played the game for several hours, you can just put them on your bedside table or on your shelf.

But because we want to provide the maximum freedom for players to experience this game, we designed that idea that every physical part that you buy, you will unlock a digital part. So if you want the full experience, you can play with the starships on top of your controller. But if you want to just display the collectibles on your shelf, and play the game without them, you can do that as well.

You will also be able to buy the digital part separately, without the collectibles, if you want. Just because, again, we want to provide freedom for players. But the magical moment where you connect the part is something that is dear to us.

Approving crazy projects is part of the DNA of Ubisoft. If you look at Assassin’s Creed back in the day, or Just Dance… it is just part of what the company does. We were excited to show him what we’d done. And we were super happy that the top management team in Paris were just as excited as we were, and that we got to make it.”

In North America, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is being handled entirely by Ubisoft. The situation in Japan is a bit different.

Nintendo confirmed today that it will be responsible for publishing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle in Japan. Although it’s coming out in August here in the west, the Japanese release is set for 2018.
