Squadron 42 is the single player campaign of Star Citizen, that is supposed to launch as a separate game. It’s basically a small portion of Star Citizen, but with a story and ending. I’m still not confident; waited too long for that.

I assume that the reason that the Guiness Book of World Records doesn’t accept Beyond Good and Evil 2 is that they probably require an actual release.

But there is a big difference to all those games: Star Citizen (and therefore Squadron 42) is backed and payed by customers already.
The Guinness Reason is actually because Beyond Good & Evil 2 was teased in 2008 as a prequel to a game from 2003, while Star Citizen was known in 2012. Both haven’t released.
Has there even been video or screenshots of BG&E2 to prove it has even been in development at all? I thought it was simply a joke or a rumor since I haven’t seen anything even being shown off.
So far I believe there have only been 3 or 4 pieces of media related to it. The 2008 car breakdown teaser, the gameplay teaser shortly after where she’s running along the rooftops, then the 2018 trailer with the monkeys or whatever and like a gameplay overview or something around that time. There hasn’t been anything of note since 2018 (i think) and I believe the creative director actually died this year.
It’s basically the most cursed project in gaming at this point. Very disappointing too. BG&E was an absolute masterpiece.
Ubisoft has a promo video on their website. No gameplay, but I assume that they aren’t gonna pay what it’d take to make that as a joke.

It sounds a lot less like a joke and more like enormous project management problems.
