Beyond Good and Evil 2 was first announced back in 2008 and ever since, fans have been left wondering when the hell we'd ever see it. There have been hints here and there and even gameplay footage released, but still no damn game.

Well now creator Michel Ancel says that we should look towards the next generation of consoles for our helping of Beyond Good and Evil 2. At the Toulouse Game Show, Mr. Ancel said, "We are in an active creation stage and at this moment we are only focusing on the game and making it the best game we can."

He didn't say which console the game would run on, but did hint that it would be a next-gen proposition. "That decision would distract us from that objective. I can say that it's a very ambitious game and we need some tech to achieve that ambition," Ancel said.

"We focus on the game," he added. "We create it first, then we'll see what can run it. We don't say 2013 because we don't know when it will come. We're working to create a great game and it needs more tech."

When asked about the old footage that has been released (see the videos below), Ancel addressed the parkour gameplay and how it relates to similar gameplay in other games. "We had this concept even before Mirror's Edge launched," he said. "And we have a different approach to the first-person perspective that Mirror's Edge has. Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed are closer to what we have in mind with control of the character in a third-person perspective."
