Beyond Good & Evil 2 creative director Fawzi Mesmar has responded to Ubisoft’s sweeping company reshuffle that resulted in the cancellation or delay of a swathe of game projects, as well as studio closures and layoffs — including a further 200 job losses proposed at the company’s Paris headquarters this week.
Writing on LinkedIn, former DICE veteran Mesmar assured fans of Ubisoft’s long-in-development Beyond Good & Evil 2 that the project had not been impacted in the restructure, as had previously been expected. Still, the developer said he was “saddened” by the reorganization’s effects on his colleagues across the wider company.
With an on-again, off-again development stretching back almost two decades, Beyond Good & Evil 2 remains an ongoing project within Ubisoft, led by its French team based in Montpellier.
“Thank you for everyone who has reached out to me over the past few days in regards to recent news at Ubisoft,” Mesmar wrote. “Myself, my team and our project Beyond Good and Evil 2 are unaffected by the recent changes. I would direct you to the official press release for more information around the latest organisational structure.”
This press release was the one which laid out Ubisoft leadership’s vision
