Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition is official and gives a new generation of gamers the chance to experience one of Ubisoft’s most remembered titles with a modern and fresh upgrade.
Although the achievement and trophy lists for the remaster were leaked in advance, prompting official confirmation from Ubisoft on social media, it has since been officially revealed via Limited Run Games’ LRG3 2024 presentation, along with a new trailer.
The remastered game is coming to all platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game will be available for purchase digitally on June 25, with a physical release via Limited Run Games on July 12.
Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition seems to hit all the notes of a typical remaster; support for up to 4K at 60fps, cross-save support on all platforms, achievements, a new speedrun mode and extras like galleries and videos.
Interestingly enough, the remaster isn’t just satisfied with that. Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition will also feature a brand new questline with unlockable cosmetics and will, according to the official websiteto tie Beyond good and evil 2. That’s certainly an exciting tidbit for fans, as it’s seemingly a soft confirmation that the prequel is still in development and could receive some much-needed news in the relatively near future.
Beyond good and evil originally launched in 2003 for the PS2, OG Xbox and Nintendo Gamecube, where it was critically praised for its open exploration, deep world-building and unique photography mechanic. While it wasn’t the biggest commercial success, it remains a title that is fondly remembered and has definitely stood the test of time.
