The BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL 2 Trailer Is Finally Here and It’s Badass

After waiting fifteen years for the sequel to the original game and hearing a ton of rumors after the sequel’s announcement back in 2008, we finally have our first look at Beyond Good and Evil 2—and boy, does it look good! Ubisoft Montpellier hit the stage during their E3 2017 press conference to drop the trailer. In it, we’re introduced to a charming chimp who has all of the swagger of Rocket Raccoon and a mobster pig. What’s not to love? Check it out below:

Don’t let the 2 in the title fool you, BGE2 actually takes place prior to the birth of Jade, the protagonist of the first game, and as a result  is more of a spiritual successor/prequel. The game, which is set in a place called System 3, takes players and a multicultural band of iconic characters to a stunning new solar system where they’ll “struggle for freedom and the right to determine your own fate among the stars.” The developer also pointed out that you can play the game solo or with a group of friends in a “vast and seamless online playground.”

After the show, the developer also released a full trailer breakdown to give us the lo-down about what’s going on in the game.

Here’s a brief description of what’s going on in the game’s stunning new setting:

“System 3 has become the center of interstellar trade and colonization in the Milky Way of the 24th century, thanks to the creation of Hybrid slaves. While private enterprises fight over resources and power, the first colonists weave together the rich and diverse spiritual and cultural heritages of Old Earth to give meaning to their existence. In this new era of piracy, we will rise from lowly pirate to legendary captain at the helm of massive star-faring vessels, adventuring alongside crews of colorful characters to fight for freedom and the right to determine our own fate among the stars!”
