According to sources, constant changes, pushbacks, and the lengthy development time have likely cost Ubisoft $500+ million in development costs. But, at least for the time being, Ubisoft feels like it’s a cost that is justified.

The only BG&E2 that I cared about about was a direct sequel, and that hope died about 2 decades ago.

Ubisoft did nothing worth a damn for a very long time, and they can blame their shitty management and the army of marketting "experts" ruling their projects for that.

And they quickly closed that studio, as they didn't understand the assignment of making samey corporate bullshit.

I emulated the remastered Switch version of BG&E and it had some marketing snippets in form of audiologs (BG&E2 was supposed to be a prequel i think?)in it. I was really surprised, like are we still doing this? Are we still pretending this game will ever come out?
