Well, that didn't last long, did it?

After Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition was accidentally listed on the Microsoft Store and briefly made available to Ubisoft+ subscribers, Ubisoft itself has now confirmed that it is indeed the real deal (shock).

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), it's been revealed that the updated game will arrive in 2024 with more news coming early in the year. The team has stated that it is dedicated to providing "an experience that truly honors the legacy of the original".

So there you have it! A Switch version hasn't been confirmed just yet, but we're pretty confident it will arrive on Nintendo's platform alongside PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Following a rating earlier this year, evidence of Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition has now surfaced once again, this time on Microsoft's store page. The game's achievements for this platform have also been discovered.

Ubisoft hasn't officially revealed this new game just yet, but at this point, it seems like there could be a surprise announcement and shadow drop in the near future. When the rating originally surfaced, Nintendo Switch was one of the many platforms listed.

The Microsoft Store page includes a number of images of the 20th Anniversary Edition as well as a description. There's no release date or price just yet, so perhaps we might hear something at The Game Awards, taking place next week on 7th December. Here's the full description of this new version of the game:

Swoop into the marvelous world of Hillys as action-reporter Jade to investigate the mysterious DomZ alien attacks alongside colorful characters, like her adoptive uncle Pey’j or the valiant Double H.

Embark on this epic adventure in up to 4K, 60 fps with improved graphics, controls, and audio, along with brand-new autosave and cross-save features.
