Immersive Storyline and Awe-Inspiring Environments Bring New Meaning to
Action-Adventure
San Francisco, CA - November 11, 2003 - Ubisoft, one of the world's largest
video game publishers, today announced that the Beyond Good & Evil
action/adventure game is now available for the PlayStation2 computer
entertainment system. Beyond Good & Evil is rated "T-Teen" with a suggested
retail price of $49.99.
"What propels this game into the upper echelon of next-generation games is not
only an engrossing storyline but the promise of discovery," said Michel Ancel,
Game Designer. "We've designed a brand new, exclusive game engine from ground up
that has allowed us to integrate a whole universe in one game including
mountains, cities, towns, planets and more. Our goal was to provide gamers an
opportunity to experience absolute immersion through a unique story and free
roaming environments - a world with no bounds, and Beyond Good & Evil has
exceeded those expectations."
About Beyond Good & Evil
Beyond Good & Evil is set in the future on the planet of Hillys, which has
fallen under siege by a ruthless alien race. Despite the assurances of the Alpha
Section defense squad, the war drags on, terrorizing the once-beautiful planet
and crushing the faith of the people. From the rubble of a tiny island rises
Jade - a rebellious young action reporter left traumatized by a brutal attack.
When Jade is hired by the rebel organization IRIS, she learns that the Alpha
Sections are secretly trafficking humans to the enemy. Still wary of whom to
believe, she sets out to expose the gruesome conspiracy and bring proof to her
people.
Armed with her camera, "dai-jo" staff, and unflinching resolve, Jade plunges
into a sinister web to untangle the truth and restore justice to her planet. But
as she earns the trust of her beleaguered people, Jade discovers that sometimes,
in order to find the truth, you must look beyond good and evil.
