System 3 has become the center of interstellar trade and colonization in the Milky Way of the 24th century, thanks to the creation of Hybrid slaves. While private enterprises fight over resources and power, the first colonists weave together the rich and diverse spiritual and cultural heritages of Old Earth to give meaning to their existence. In this new era of piracy, we will rise from lowly pirate to legendary captain at the helm of massive star-faring vessels, adventuring alongside crews of colorful characters to fight for freedom and the right to determine our own fate among the stars!

The Beyond Good & Evil 2 development team is hard at work bringing System 3 to life. Since their debut at E3 2017, the team has more than doubled in size and has begun digging in deeper into the mechanics and story of the game.

In the video below, you’ll get a glimpse a ship designs ranging from puttering tuk-tuks to towering motherships, see hybrid character models that blend human and animal into entirely new beings, and hear about how your crew will be one of the driving forces of your adventure.

But the team in Montpellier won’t be the only ones bringing their creativity to Beyond Good & Evil 2. Through the Space Monkey Program, the team is welcoming people from all around the world to engage in discussions about what the future might look like, what kind of societies might still be around, and what kind of space pirate they’d want to be. The team is planning to make Space Monkeys even more involved in the creative process as development continues, and you can sign up for a chance to join the conversation at bgegame.com.
