Det er meget, meget, meget lang tid siden at vi har set konkrete livstegn fra Beyond Good & Evil 2, og selvom at Ubisoft insisterer på at spillet er under udvikling, så er mangel på nyt begyndt at bekymre mange.
Insider Tom Henderson har undersøgt spillet i flere omgange, og i en ny rapport hos Insider-Gaming slår han fast at selv her efter seks år i fuld produktion, så er spillet stadig i et "meget tidligt stadie".
Han slår fast at de playtests der blev gennemført over sommeren bød på golde planeter, lukkede strukturer og manglende centrale features:
"Images and video provided to Insider Gaming under anonymity and under the condition the images don't go public suggests that the game has probably been rebooted since the Pre-Alpha Demo Walkthrough shown in 2018; as nothing seen shows the same level of detail. The majority of the images and footage provided to Insider Gaming show bare planets with blocked structures for buildings. Any structures that had some form of detail were very low quality; almost like the game was being played on an ultra-low setting."
