since these trailers, up until 2016, the state of program with "beyond good and evil 2" was unclear, with conflicting statements made by both ubisoft and ancel. while ancel and ubisoft reported several times that the game was still in development, rumors circulated that ubisoft had put the game on hold, that ubisoft had yet to officially announced the title and thus production was not officially started, and that ancel had left ubisoft montpellier, by 2016, ancel affirmed that they had put aside work on "beyond good and evil 2" to develop "rayman legends" (2013) which enabled them to produce tools that would help with the production of "beyond good and evil 2"; once work for "rayman legends" was completed, they returned to "beyond good & evil" sequel. ubisoft later noted that with ancel's time was split between "beyond good and evil 2" and "wild", a title developed by ancel's wild sheep studios outside of ubisoft.

in late 2016, ancel used social media to post images from the game, showing a younger pey'j, hinting that "beyond good and evil 2" may be a prequel. ubisoft shortly followed by officially announcing the game. ubisoft showed the first new trailer for "beyond good and evil 2" during their e3 2017 conference and was announced as a prequel to the first game. during e3 2017, ancel confirmed that the 2008 and 2009 trailers were from initial work as a narrative sequel to "beyond good & evil", but during development they opted to change direction and make it a prequel, and thus the work previously shown was from an effectively different game.
