BG&E2 is never coming out, is it?
I don't think that another Rayman is releasing...
Good for him doing what he loves which is what we all should do. And Greg to hear Beyond Good And Evil 2 is doing well as I really want to play that game.
His games didn’t always hit the mark but was One of the few people that pushed Ubi in different directions. Wish him well for future endeavours
I really enjoyed the original Rayman games, it’s a shame that I stopped playing anything by Ubisoft after the release of the Xbox One.
Looks like I'll be playing some Rayman this weekend.
Enjoy, Rayman has had some cool games.
I just want Beyond Good & Evil 2!
He has had a hand in some true classics over his career. I hope he finds enjoyment with his next passion.
