Destructoid reports on a rumor that Ubisoft's Beyond Good and Evil 2, now under the working title of Beyond Good and Evil: The Predjudices of Philosophers, is being funded by Nintendo as an NX-exclusive.

If this is true, then the only real concern I have is that it's being developed by Ubisoft.

It's being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier. Same as the first one. In fact, that was known for years.

Interesting rumor. Would kinda get my hopes up for this, but...I think 8 years was long enough at this point. If we're getting anything at this point, I'd like to see a little more than 'We're still working on this' after all that time of on/off development...officially-speaking.

Given that the rumor states it's coming 2017, it likely won't be long now.

Looks like Ubisoft may have accidentally confirmed the rumors. They apparently wanted Destructoid to take down their article on it. http://mynintendonews.com/2016/03/07/destructoid-ubisoft-wanted-the-beyond-good-evil-2-nintendo-nx-rumour-taken-down/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Oooooh THat's a REALLY neat rumor, and it's quite interesting that Ubisoft's action may actually confirm it. I totally need to finish Beyond Good and Evil first because getting interested into this, though - it IS a pretty darn amazing game, after all.

A new trademark for Beyond Good and Rvil was filed. http://mynintendonews.com/2016/04/02/ubisoft-files-a-new-trademark-for-beyond-good-evil/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I went to Destructoid's original post on the rumor and, guess what, it turns out that Ubisoft's "request" to have the rumor taken down wasn't legit. https://www.destructoid.com/rumor-nintendo-funding-beyond-good-and-evil-sequel-346059.phtml

I thought Ubisoft's relationship with Nintendo was strained at best?

If this is true, then it may be that the damage has been repaired.
