Beyond Good & Evil is getting a brand new anniversary edition, according to a leaked rating.

Earlier today on August 31, Gematsu reported that the ESRB, the ratings board for North America, had listed a 'Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition' for release. The new re-release is apparently coming to PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, according to the new listing.

Sadly, there's still no sign of the long-awaited Beyond Good & Evil 2 on the horizon. This means that, assuming Ubisoft doesn't suddenly drop a new trailer for the waylaid sequel before November this year, we'll have another edition of Beyond Good & Evil to play before its sequel even has a third trailer to its name.

That's all to say that Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been missing in action since 2018, when another E3 trailer dropped. Hell, just last year Beyond Good & Evil 2 broke the record for the longest game in development, which up until then had been held by Duke Nukem Forever at 15 years. If you're longing for Ubisoft's prequel, perhaps this re-release will make the wait a little less painful.
