June 29^th, 2002 (12:00am) - San Francisco, CA - Ubi Soft(r) Entertainment, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announces BG&E [working title], the latest creation by Michel Ancel, designer of the critically acclaimed Rayman(r) series. BG&E will be unveiled during its world premiere at E3 2002, and is scheduled to ship to retail shelves in 2003 with availability on all next generation consoles and PC.

A reluctant young heroin holds the freedom of her people in the palm of her hands with this investigative action/adventure game. It’s the distant future and her government has mysteriously begun to lead its people down a "righteous path of no return". Recruited by an underground organization and thrust into the leading role, a once orphaned young girl name Jade learns she possesses a special ability that will uncover the tyranny and corruption behind her government and, ultimately, the salvation of her people.

"What propels this game into the upper echelon of next-generation games is not only an engrossing storyline but the Promise of Discovery", said Michel Ancel, Game Designer. "We’ve designed a brand new, exclusive game engine from ground up that has allowed us to integrate a whole universe in one game including mountains, cities, towns, planets and more. Our goal was to provide gamers an opportunity to experience absolute immersion through a unique story and free roaming environments - a world with no bounds, and BG&E has exceeded those expectations."
