"Beyond Good & Evil" was critically acclaimed and is considered one of the greatest video games ever made. Critics praised the game's animation, setting, story, and design, but criticized its combat and technical issues. The game received a nomination for "Game of the Year" at the 2004 Game Developers Choice Awards. While the game had a cult following, it was considered a commercial failure at launch. A full HD re-mastered version of the game was released on Xbox Live Arcade in March 2011 and on PlayStation Network in June 2011. A prequel, "Beyond Good and Evil 2", is in development and was announced at E3 2017.
