"A cherished colleague for over a decade at Ubisoft Montpellier, we laughed and wept through good times and bad, and shipped a lot great games together," Morel's former colleague M. Gabrielle Shrager wrote on LinkedIn. "Emile was so very proud of Beyond Good and Evil 2, the Space Monkeys and his teammates. He will be sorely missed."

Starting to really think this game is cursed and is never coming out. This game is the only reason I would want Sony to buy ubi just to save it from them.

There's no way BGE2 turns into a money maker at this point, Sony's first move would be to send Bungie over to inspect it. Then, after the negative report, they axe it.

RIP. Very sad news, his coworkers really appreciated him.

In recent times he got promoted to creative director of BGE2, but before that he was lead game designer in titles like Rayman Legends, The Adventures of Tintin: The Game, Alone in the Dark (2008) or Alone in the Dark: Inferno, and also worked as additional game designer in Rayman Fiesta Run or Test Drive Unlimited 2. He worked in Ubisoft for 14 years.

Last week I did talk with multiple people who works in one of the studio that is developing it. It's taking time because it's a very ambitious game, but they continue working on it normally.

Ubi doesn't want or need to sell, and even if they would Bungie wouldn't inspect it because Bungie don't inspect Sony games. Bungie management simply joined a team to review different GaaS specific aspects for the Sony GaaS where there's also the SIE studios management and the SIE publishing management, not only Bungie. And BGE2 isn't a GaaS, so wouldn't be reviewed by that team.

Don't believe the Bloomberg FUD and lies they tell about Sony.
