The hashtag for Beyond Good and Evil 2 is trending on Twitter now, and many people are disappointed in the fact that nothing was even said, with an underlying sentiment of discomfort at the thought the game might just have been discontinued. At this stage, it is very likely that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is going to be much further away than people thought it would be, with official news likely missing for around another year, hoping that E3 2022 will hold some surprises. The fact that Ubisoft Forward didn't include Beyond Good and Evil 2 speaks volumes about what to expect at this point, though. This year would have marked a perfect time to reveal something more about the game, considering fans have been waiting for it for the longest time now. However, Ancel did leave Ubisoft in 2020, and this was the closest piece of news players got in a while about the future of Beyond Good and Evil 2. Ever since then, news on the game has been pretty scarce and nothing official really came out, but people participating in the unique initiative by the name of Space Monkey Program have been very vocal about their support for the game with art, graffiti, and music. In 2016, Ancel posted images from Beyond Good and Evil 2 on social media, and during 2017's E3, Ubisoft actually announced the game to be a prequel to the first.

The game was first rumored back in 2007, and then a year later the game director, Michel Ancel, declared in an interview that the sequel had been in pre-production for a year and was pending approval by Ubisoft.

During the main show, Rainbow Six Extraction was announced to be coming this September, then news ranging from Rocksmith+ to Riders Republic, from Ghost Recon's 20th anniversary to Just Dance 2022, and ended on more about Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Far Cry 6.

There were a few announcements during the pre-show, including For Honor's Season 2 of Year 5, a Ninja Turtles crossover for Bralwhalla, and the Bloodline expansion for Watch Dogs Legion. Earlier today, Ubisoft Forward showcase at this year's E3 took place, and there is a lot to unpack here.
