Fawzi Mesmar Joins Beyond Good & Evil 2 as New Creative Director

Beyond Good & Evil 2 has officially appointed veteran designer Fawzi Mesmar as its new creative director, following the unexpected passing of the previous director, Emile Morel, earlier this year. Mesmar brings over 20 years of experience in the gaming industry and has been involved with the project previously as the Vice President of Editorial at Ubisoft. His appointment signals a renewed focus on the much-anticipated title, which has been plagued by delays and a lack of information. Ubisoft has redirected team resources from other projects, including Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, to boost development on Beyond Good & Evil 2. Despite these developments, the game currently lacks a release date and significant details remain sparse, continuing its reputation as one of gaming's most enigmatic titles.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 is under new creative direction after Fawzi Mesmar took over, but it does not have a scheduled release date. The game's development has seen a shift in team resources from other Ubisoft projects, indicating that it may be progressing, although significant details are still lacking.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 is an open-world prequel to the critically acclaimed original, which was released in 2003. The game aims to expand on the beloved universe created by Michel Ancel and features a blend of action-adventure gameplay and role-playing elements. The project has faced numerous development challenges and changes in direction, creating a strong demand and anticipation among fans for more news and updates on its eventual release.
