Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been referred to as vaporware by industry figures such as Jason Schreier due to its lengthy development and lack of a release date.[3] In 2022, Beyond Good and Evil 2 broke the record held by Duke Nukem Forever (2011) for the longest development period of a AAA video game, at more than 15 years. According to Ubisoft this is justifiable as Beyond Good & Evil 2 is not a AAA game, but slated to be a Quadruple 'A' ('AAAA') game, and it will completely and permanently change the industry and the reality of video gaming in a profound and inalienable way.[4] In 2023, the creative director, Emile Morel, died suddenly at age 40.
