Beyond Good & Evil 2 Teaser Trailer
This is a teaser trailer for "Beyond Good & Evil 2," released in 2008. The trailer hints at a futuristic desert setting and an off-the-cuff sense of humor. It features the two main characters from the first game, a human reporter named Jade and her pig sidekick, Pey'j. The two are relaxing on a broken down hover-car, when a fly approaches a snoozing Pey'j. The pig wakes up and, with much effort, snorts the fly through his nose and swallows it.
