Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been gaining traction thanks to their Space Monkey program, first launched at E3 last year. The interactions with the community have revealed several bits of information regarding the latest project by developer Michel Ancel. The latest round of questions came from a recent callout from their fourth video on demand, which showed off some rough stages of the gameplay. While questions on the lore of the game, such as the number of animal hybrids to what clones are were asked, the one question receiving the most attention had to deal with the revelation of the game requiring an internet connection to play.
“Beyond Good and Evil 2 is an online, multiplayer game with a rich co-op and seamless experience.” said the dev team. “As such, the game will only be playable with an internet connection in order to have seamless navigation, receive dynamic updates, and play with friends (which is certainly better when you’re playing as a Space Pirate!). The choice to play co-op, however, remains yours to make, so playing BGE2 solo is absolutely possible if you’re into that lone Space Pirate kinda thing…”
Reaction online has been fairly negative towards Ubisoft and Ancel for this, with many fans believing that Beyond Good and Evil 2 should not require an always online component. Adding fuel to the fire were several prominent game developers coming to the aid of the developer team, In particular was God of War creator David Jaffe, who went to Twitter to criticize those criticizing the game, calling out fans as ‘super entitled babies’ and expanding upon his thoughts on his own live stream over the Holiday Break.
