10 Video Games That Surprisingly No-Showed E3 2021

10. Beyond Good & Evil 2

Unquestionably one of the most ambitious AAA games in development right now is the long-awaited Beyond Good and Evil 2, which Ubisoft reintroduced to a rapturous response way back at E3 2017.

The sequel initially began development in 2007, but word went quiet in the years that followed as the project seemingly languished in development hell.

The 2017 re-reveal was tremendously exciting, and a glossy presentation at E3 2018 further bolstered interest in what seemed to be a bold and spectacular follow-up to a beloved cult classic game.

But since revealing some gameplay footage in December 2018, we've heard concerningly little in the way of concrete information, prompting rumours that development is in trouble and the game may be in danger of cancellation.

This was only further exacerbated by director Michel Ancel's departure from Ubisoft and the entire video games industry last September, amid reports that he fostered a toxic and abusive workplace, which contributed to the game's stalled production over almost 15 years.

Though Ancel insists BGE2 is in safe hands, the fact that it missed another Ubisoft E3 event isn't very encouraging. For many, it's proof enough that the game may never see the light of day, sadly.
