20 Upcoming Video Games That Might Surprise You

16. Beyond Good & Evil 2

Let's be real - the most surprising thing that Beyond Good and Evil 2 could do is actually release.

The follow-up to 2003's cult classic action-adventure game was first announced by Ubisoft in 2008, and after almost a full decade of radio silence it was reintroduced in 2017.

Despite the attention-grabbing re-reveal, which positioned the game as a hugely ambitious AAA open-world blockbuster, we've had precious few updates in the additional near-decade since.

Speculation has mounted that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is trapped in development hell, though the studio provided an update mere weeks ago that production was still ongoing.

While any betting individual would probably stake money on the game either never coming out or simply not being very good, what if all this time has actually been well spent?

What if Beyond Good and Evil 2 not only ends up releasing but is actually pretty damn great? Stranger things have happened, believe it or not.
