Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Rated by ESRB
Beyond Good & Evil might be coming to modern platforms soon as a ratings board has listed an anniversary edition of the game.
As reported by Gematsu, the Electronic Software Ratings Board (ESRB) has rated Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
The ESRB’s summary of the game calls it an action adventure game where players assume the role of a reporter who is accompanied by a pig-like companion. On the planet of Hillys, the two investigate a conspiracy by exploring fantasy locations, taking photos of evidence, solving puzzles, and fighting enemies.
Ubisoft has not announced Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition officially so the release isn't guaranteed, though is perhaps likely. The original was released in 2003 for PC, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Gamecube, and the original Xbox. It was then ported to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011.
A second game, Beyond Good & Evil 2, was officially announced all the way back in 2017 and has been in development ever since. It’s unclear when or if this game will see the light of day as updates from Ubisoft have been non-existent. It is reportedly still in pre-production even after more than six years of development.
In IGN’s 9/10 Beyond Good & Evil review, we said: “While it's over a bit before you'd want it to be, Beyond Good & Evil tells its story with amazing pizzazz and polish. Even better, it's a story well worth telling.”
