Ubisoft hints the potential fate of a Beyond Good & Evil 2 game relies on how well Rayman Origins sells regardless of praise from the critics.
According to Tony Key, sales executive at Ubisoft, he doesn't want the new Rayman game to become a one-trick pony like the original Beyond Good & Evil game but at the same time did hint the person who worked on the game would have more leeway with other projects.
Quote:

"Ultimately, Rayman is [Ancel's] original creation, and if all the people that love Beyond Good & Evil understand he is more than a one trick pony... and that if Rayman: Origins does well, it gives him more leeway for other opportunities because he has to build up his studio"

Ubisoft has been undecided for the past couple of years whether or not to fully commit to a Beyond Good & Evil 2 project. They have hinted multiple times a game could be made but also have stated they have no current plans in actually making the game.
This wouldn't be the first time Ubisoft or other companies have tied a future game to a game about to be released in hope of generating extra sales.
