Nintendo NX news: Another MASSIVE new gaming launch revealed?
NINTENDO NX could be in line for an imminent reveal, after images for reported exclusive Beyond Good and Evil 2 appear online.
UPDATE: Ubisoft CEO Yves has made some big claims about the Nintendo NX ahead of its official reveal date.
Speaking to investors, Guillemot said that the NX would put Nintendo firmly in the mix with the PS4 and Xbox One.
"I believe Nintendo will be back in the race with the NX," he said (via GameSpot).
ORIGINAL: Beyond Good and Evil 2 images appear to have been released online, prompting renewed speculation that the Nintendo NX reveal date is imminent.
Beyond Good and Evil creator Michel Ancel has posted two Instagram images of what appears to be concept art from the long-awaited sequel.
With previous reports suggesting Beyond Good and Evil 2 would be a Nintendo NX exclusive, the timing of the images could indicate that a reveal is on the cards.
Even though the rights to the franchise are owned by Ubisoft, Nintendo was said to be funding development of Beyond Good and Evil 2 to win "audience goodwill".
Judging by the caption that accompanies the post, Ubisoft is still heavily involved in project, however.
"Somewhere in system 4... Thanks Ubisoft for making this possible!" reads the caption.
It's been speculated that the Beyond Good and Evil follow-up could actually be a prequel.
Fans believe the piglet in the image is a younger version of Pey'j, one of the main characters from the original game. It's also been suggested that the human character is Jade's father.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 was officially unveiled all the way back in 2008, but has barely been shown in the years since.
Ubisoft had previously confirmed that it's still in development, and has a working title of Beyond Good and Evil: The Prejudices of Philosophers.

Rumours of a Nintendo NX reveal have been picking up steam as of late, especially after one retailer seemingly confirmed the price.
Tesco advertised the Nintendo NX with a £349.99 price tag, something that would rival the PS4 Pro in terms of cost.
Until the Nintendo NX price and release date is revealed by Nintendo, fans should probably take this with a pinch of salt, especially given the fact that it was also advertised with a December 31 launch date.
The Nintendo NX is believed to be a handheld/console hybrid that comes in three separate parts.
