From the girl that usually leaks Switch stuff.

BGE2 codename is Odyssey. Exclusive to Switch for 12 months only, retail and digital versions. after 12 months digital on PS4 and XB1.

BGE2 Odyssey teaser is done. Likely to be at the end of the end of Jan 12 event.

PC Port after 12 months too, sorry about forgetting to add this.

 

[Infernostew]

Wow. DOA

 

[purseowner]

We're discussing it in the other Switch threads but I imagine this will be locked due to the rule on tweets. :/

 

[LiK]

Wow. DOA

Like this thread

 

[georly]

I thought threads based on tweets weren't allowed now? Just add this to the switch thread.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

No threads based on twitter rumours.

 

[FelipeMGM]

modbot is coming for ya

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Wow. DOA

The late ports? Definitely DOA.

 

[Neoxon]

The mods are cracking down on threads based on tweets.

That said, this is an interesting turn of events. Though it's interesting that the PS4 & XB1 won't get retail versions of BGE2.

 

[Hoje0308]

Another tweet thread? FFS

 

[Grim Patron]

Rip thread.

 

[LordKano]

Hello ModBot how was your day ?

 

[qanters]

No retail versions on PS4/XBOX? Looks like i'm sticking with the switch version

 

[AllGamer]

No problem. I also waited a year for Tomb Raider on PS4.

 

[sonto340]

Another tweet thread? FFS

This is such a weird mentality.
Verified insiders on twitter are different from some rando saying whatever in twitter.

 

[Azoor]

They're not bothering with retail for Xbone and PS4?

Odd decision if this turned out to be true.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I feel like Xbox One has shown one year exclusives aren't good for the game or system.

Though physical eclusivity is weird.

 

[Spieler Eins]

Just recently Ancel reiterated that the scope of this game needs strong hardware (and isn't coming out anytime soon).

 

[Sammy Samusu]

The tweet thread rule is totally arbitrary.

They are free to lock the thread though. I don't care. Lol.

 

[Hoje0308]

This is such a weird mentality.
Verified insiders on twitter are different from some rando saying whatever in twitter.

And the mods have made it quite clear that they give zero fucks about your distinction.

 

[arts&crafts]

dang PC a year later!

 

[ShirAhava]

'BGE:2' ? Wasn't this game suppose to be a remake?

 

[BY2K]

She updated the blog post with that info, so it should be fine for the thread to stay open.

 

[Jonneh3003]

I think they want to set a standard but it is weird we can't make threads for verified users.

 

[VichoCardenas]

She updated the blog post with that info, so it should be fine for the thread to stay open.

Then better OP updates his text with such link before ModBot notices.

 

[RPGamer92]

I'd rather Nintendo use their money on first party projects or at least help fund games that wouldn't exist otherwise e.g. Bayonetta 2 :/

 

[pswii60]

Timed would indicate that Nintendo isn't funding this after all (ie not another B2), although their marketing yen might help to offset the development costs.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

No threads based on twitter rumours.

Why? Laura has been pretty consistently reliable?

 

[Jonneh3003]

'BGE:2' ? Wasn't this game suppose to be a remake?

Prequel

 

[sonto340]

It's a good thing I quoted you instead of mentioning the mods or wether or not this thread should have been made at all then.

 

[mejin]

Brilliant strategy, Ubi. lol

 

[Kouriozan]

Funny they said they needed stronger console for exploring galaxies and the like, and bam one year timed exclusive on the weaker one.
Ah, maybe we can get a remaster/port of the first one.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Ubisoft really wants Vivendi to do the hostile take over.

 

[kurahador]

Nintendo saving bombs one after another.

 

[True Fire]

That'll give them a year to work on 4K implementation I guess. Can't wait to play this next year.

 

[Gusy]

In before thread judgement day..

I loved BGE but why do this? Did the original sold well enough?

 

[sense]

Don't think this game is worthy of being moneyhatted. It is a niche title that will probably hurt the game more than it benefits Nintendo switch

 

[harz-marz]

Didn't the original sell poorly anyway? Even if this were to release on all formats at the same time, I can't see it being a huge seller IMO

 

[Hoje0308]

It's a good thing I quoted you instead of mentioning the mods or wether or not this thread should have been made at all then.

And my original post was made to express dismay at the fact that people keep creating threads that are almost certain to get locked. It's a good thing you were able to put that together.

 

[brawly]

Time to pull another Rayman.

 

[rochellepaws]

Like with Tomb Raider people will just wait the year. A waste of money from Nintendo's perspective and damaging to their reputation to foster the anti-consumer practice of buying timed exclusives.

 

[Morfeo]

Cool, the first game was pretty decent, so definitely getting this on the Switch!

 

[Jonneh3003]

Sold very poorly from what I remember

 

[Briarios]

She added it to her site, does that count? I believe it's been used before in posts ...

[Palmer27]

I always understood the game was shooting above current tech - interesting to see how this would work out for the switch

 

[AquaWateria]

Lol people getting mad at Nintendo.

 

[Lichter]

No retail for PS4/One versions?

 

[Oregano]

Time exclusives are anti-consumer!*

*unless it's for my system of choice.

 

[AntiFacebook]

In before thread judgement day..

I loved BGE but why do this? Did the original sold well enough?

There is no yearly BGE game release, so I would imagine it didn't sell that well

 

[Cardon]

Is it just me or is it odd that the PS4/X1 version will reportedly be digital only upon release? Like I get that digital sales are solid in most cases, but is this Ubi being open that this is a relatively niche sequel, that no doubt has a high budget, or does this perhaps have something to do with the Switch timed exclusive period? Just seems like a peculiar move all together in my view.
