The long-delayed sequel Beyond Good & Evil 2 officially has a new creative director, with veteran designer Fawzi Mesmar announcing that he is taking the reins in the wake of the sudden ****** of Emile Morel in 2023. "Today I’m glad to share that I joined Beyond Good & Evil 2 as Creative Director. I have been working with those peeps for years now on this ambitious game and witnessed their talent firsthand," Mesmar wrote on Linkedin. "I am standing on the shoulders of creative giants that have supported the team before me, and I look forward to continuing to craft a game that is truly unique for players to enjoy." IGN has reached out to Ubisoft for further comment and an update on the status of the game, which has remained largely under wraps since first being revealed in 2017. Mesmar has held numerous positions over the course of his lengthy career in the games industry, including the head of design at DICE between 2019 and 2021, and over the last three years has been the Vice President of Global Creative at Ubisoft. Earlier this year he received an ambassador award at the 2024 Game Developers Choice Awards. Mesmar will help lead a project that has come to be known as one of gaming's most infamous cases of vaporware. Much is known about it save that it's an open world prequel to the original Beyond Good & Evil and that it is being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, with a handful of early demos emerging over the years. The game's original director, Michel Ancel, departed Ubisoft in 2020, though he's now consulting on a nascent Rayman game. Notably, it seems as if Beyond Good & Evil 2 is starting to pick up steam. Ubisoft has reportedly moved most of the team behind Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown to the project, and the addition of Mesmar gives it direction at the top. However, Ubisoft is dealing with plenty of other problems, including rumors of a potential takeover and disappointing sales around major tentpole releases like Star Wars Outlaws. Beyong Good & Evil 2 does not have a release date and seems unlikely to come out any time soon, but you can check out all the rest of the best video games of 2024 right here.

Amazon has just dropped the price on its highest capacity power bank: The Anker Prime 27,650mAh USB Power Bank is down to $129.99 after a 28% off instant discount. In fact, right now it's the exact same price as the lesser 20,000mAh model. This is the successor to the Anker 737 that we deemed the best Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally charger. This power bank features a massive 27,650mAh and power delivery up to 250W. Very few power banks at this price can match that output; it can even charge the newest Apple MacBook Pro 16" laptop. Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank for $129.99 With 250W of USB Type-C Power Delivery The Anker Prime is a hefty power bank, measuring 6.4"x2"x2.2" and weighing in at 1.5lbs. This is something you'd put in your travel bag or backpack instead of your pocket. It has two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port. The USB Type-A port supports up to 65W, although it drops to 18W if you're using the other ports at the same time. Each USB Type C port supports up to 140W of Power Delivery (or a combined total of 240W if you're running both simultaneously). That's powerful enough to charge even the current 2024 Apple MacBook Pro 16" laptop, which accepts up to 140W of charging. In terms of gaming handhelds, the Steam Deck supports up to 38W of charging, the Asus ROG Ally up to 65W, and the Nintendo Switch up to 18W. Basically, that means the Anker Prime can easily charge all three gaming handhelds at their maximum rate (all at the same time even, if you own all three); you'll even be able to play and charge simultaneously. A 27.650mAh battery equates to a 99.5Whr capacity. An 80% power efficiency rating (which is about standard for power banks) gives you about 80Whr of available charge. Both the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally consume about 40Whr. The Nintendo Switch consumes about 16Whr. That means this power bank will charge a Steam Deck or ROG Ally from empty to completely full two times. It can recharge a Nintendo Switch about five times. A MacBook Pro 16" is equipped with a 100Whr battery, so it can be charged to about 80% capacity. The Anker Prime is TSA-approved, but just barely. TSA states that power banks must be under 100Whr in capacity for carry-on (check-in is not allowed under any circumstances). This Anker Prime is just barely under that at 99.5Whr, but that is the nominal rating and in real-world testing, it will always be below that. You might get checked simply because the Prime 27,650mAh is a hefty-looking power bank, but you shouldn't have any problems getting it cleared. This is one of the best Steam Deck deals and Nintendo Switch deals available right now, and absolutely worth considering if you find yourself short on power all too often. However, not everyone needs that much capacity or power and would instead benefit more from a smaller, slimmer, and less expensive power bank that might even be able to fit easily in your pocket. If you fit that bill, then check out these best power banks for travel. Eric Song is the IGN commerce manager in charge of finding the best gaming and tech deals every day.

Ubisoft has confirmed that it's exploring the possibility of a new Rayman game following reports that the recently-disbanded Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown team was working on, among other things, a remake. In a statement sent to Kotaku over email, an Ubisoft representative said, “We are pleased to confirm Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan have recently started an exploration phase on the Rayman brand. The project is still in its early stages, and we will share more details later.” Ubisoft's statement follows a report earlier today saying that the Lost Crown team had been shifted to work on Beyond Good and Evil 2, the next Ghost Recon, and an unannounced Rayman remake. Creator Michel Ancel was also reported to be involved, which Ubisoft subsequently confirmed. “As creator of the Rayman brand, Michel Ancel is being consulted to ensure consistency within the universe,” the Ubisoft representative said. As creator of the Rayman brand, Michel Ancel is being consulted to ensure consistency within the universe Ancel departed Ubisoft in 2020, saying that he planned to leave the games industry and open a wildlife sanctuary. Ancel was subsequently revealed to be under investigation for allegations of behavior that led to toxic workplace conditions, which he refuted and called "fake news" in an Instagram post. He has mostly kept a low profile since then, though he did pay tribute to Beyond Good and Evil 2 creative director Emile Morel, who ***** suddenly in 2023. It's been more than a decade since the release of the last game in the series — 2013's Rayman Legends. While its start has faded, Rayman is a storied platformer with history stretching back to 1995. The series has appeared on numerous platforms, ranging from the Atari Jaguar and ***** Saturn to Switch, PS4, and Xbox One. A definition edition of Rayman Legends was released in 2017. Developer Ubisoft Montpellier ostensibly ******** hard at work on Beyond Good and Evil 2, which was announced in 2017 and has hardly been seen since. Ubisoft Milan, for its part, is best-known for its work on Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. Ubisoft as a whole continues to be embattled by rumors of a takeover and other issues. The French publisher's earnings are set to place next week, with the potential to shed more light on its increasingly uncertain future.
