With this, managing director Guillaume Carmona and senior creative director Jean-Marc Geffroy have departed, and the game’s hopes seem bleaker than ever. Series creator Michel Ancel left the company in 2020, the game broke the Guinness World Record for the longest development period for a video game (unthinkably beating the infamous Duke Nukem Forever), and it’s since come under labor investigations as a result of concerns over the well-being of its team. A game first teased in 2008, officially announced in 2016, showcased in 20… and it still hasn’t even entered full production yet.Įver since the faint glimmer of hope we got out of the game at previous E3 shows, it’s been nothing but bad news for Beyond Good & Evil 2. When it comes to vaporware, there’s almost no game that jumps to mind as quickly as Beyond Good & Evil 2. Let’s just get this one out of the way right now, because it’s the obvious inclusion. Here are 10 games that we would like to see follow in Dead Island 2’s footsteps and push past development hell. It’s always a joy to see games escape from this, though, even if the final product isn’t everything it could’ve been. Some linger in development hell, only being brought up rarely in conversations as some kind of myth or urban legend of gaming. Many games simply never get to that finish line. Regardless of the quality of the final release, Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios deserve commendation for seeing it through to the finish line with this project. Even though it was starting to look like a proper release would never happen, it’s finally here and has managed to escape from the depths of “development hell”. Having been announced in 2014, it’s changed hands three separate times but publisher Deep Silver never gave up on the game. It’s amazing to think that Dead Island 2 is finally upon us.
