Beyond Good & Evil fans may not be getting the sequel anytime soon, but there may be something else to look forward to as the ESRB has rated Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC.
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a reporter accompanied by a pig-like companion investigating a conspiracy on the planet of Hillys. From a third-person perspective, players explore fantasy locations, take photos of evidence, solve puzzles, and fight robot and alien enemies. Combat is sometimes fast-paced, with players using melee weapons (e.g., staffs, torches) to strike stylized enemies that generally break apart or vanish into puffs of smoke. One boss battle depicts a squid-like alien stabbed in the eye, with yellow-green splatter effects.
The most recent ports of the game were in 2011, so it will be interesting to see if this 20th-anniversary edition comes with anything extra.
