Saving the very best for last at Ubidays 2008, CEO Yves Guillemot had a final note to reveal. That would be Beyond Good and Evil 2. A platform hasn't been announced yet, but we're hoping it comes our way. It just looks absolutely gorgeous. Make sure you check out Joystiq's gallery below and watch out for the debut trailer that's up at Joystiq.

The first Beyond Good & Evil was hailed by critics but largely ignored by the gaming populace when it was released several years ago. Was it the female lead? Was it the graphical style? Was it the lack of hard-headed space marines wielding impossibly large weapons? Who knows -- but it didn't fare too well on shelves. Not one to be discouraged, Michel Ancel, the man behind the original game, has been working on a sequel for over a year. Aside from the year of preproduction, Ancel says his team is "currently doing market research. But for the moment, it's in the early stages, and Ubisoft still hasn't agreed to it."

The gameplay, Ancel describes, will be similar to the original. A large variety of levels and "emotional" gameplay -- characters we truly care about. No platforms or release date are mentioned, but with Ubidays coming right up, perhaps there will be an official announcement regarding the game at that time.
