Impressive anti-record: Beyond Good & Evil 2 became the longest game in development, beating even Duke Nukem Forever

When it comes to the longest-developed games, gamers immediately think of the infamous

shooter Duke Nukem Forever from 3D Realms and GearboxSoftware. It took 14 years to create it! Because of this, Duke was included in the Guinness Book of Records as "the game that spent the longest time in production." It's sad that when Duke Nukem Forever was released, the game was not appreciated by either old fans or new audiences. “14 years wasted” - this is how you can call the fate of this project.

However, the Guinness record changes hands.Development of action adventure Beyond Good & Ubisoft's Evil 2 has already surpassed the production timeline for Duke Nukem Forever! The game was announced in 2008, then the first gameplay footage was presented in 2017, and since then there has been silence. Even the creator and visionary of Beyond Good & Evil 2 Michela Ancel left the development team, despairing of releasing it.

Those who still hope to wait for the release of BeyondGood & Evil 2, information from insider Tom Henderson can comfort us. His sources report that the development of the project continues, but it still takes ... several years before the work is completed!
