Revisit a classic adventure

Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition is a premium action-adventure game that takes you on a journey with Jade, a courageous reporter investigating mysterious alien attacks on the planet Hillys. This remastered classic allows you to explore an expansive open world filled with diverse missions and challenges.

Much like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition offers a similarly styled escapade with a maritime setting, memorable characters, and a mixture of combat and cryptic quests, all wrapped up in enhanced graphics and updated audio for a new generation.

Updated with modern technical enhancements

Armed with her trusty Daï-Jo staff and camera, Jade's adventure spans varied landscapes, from bustling urban centers to hidden volcanic caverns. As a player, you will appreciate the game's open-world design, which encourages free exploration, combat engagement, and intricate puzzle-solving. Mini games, hovercraft racing, and a unique photojournalism aspect provide a rich gameplay experience, ensuring there is always something new to discover.

Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition enhances the original's charm with modern updates. You can look forward to improved graphics, remapped controls, and updated audio, featuring over 15 iconic tracks re-recorded by a live orchestra under Christophe Héral's direction, breathing fresh life into the beloved soundtrack. Pick up where you left off without hassle and enjoy uninterrupted gameplay across multiple devices with its cross-save capability

With its new Speedrun Mode, you can test your efficiency and skill by tracking your best times with no option to save, pushing you to beat the game in one go. Furthermore, over 20 new achievements add depth to the exploration, encouraging you to uncover Hillys’ hidden secrets. Although the updated graphics and controls provide a modernized experience, some players may find the absence of significant storyline expansions disappointing.

Celebrate the legacy

In conclusion, Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition reintroduces this cult classic to a new generation, bridging the past and present with refined visual and audio detail. Jade’s adventure remains as captivating as ever with new gameplay elements, such as the Speedrun Mode and 20 achievements to be unlocked, adding fresh layers of fun and challenge. However, for those seeking new story content, the updates might feel limited.
