As Jade - a penniless young photographer/lighthouse keeper/orphan caregiver/martial artist - players will set out alongside her adoptive uncle Pey'j to explore Hillys, a watery planet under constant threat from the DomZ aliens.

Incorporating a blend of gameplay from a variety of genres, Beyond Good & Evil lets players knock aliens around with Jade's daï-jo staff in fluid combat encounters, sneak past lethal guards in tense stealth sequences, and pilot a hovercraft to battle massive creatures and win explosive races. There are competitive minigames to master, secrets to uncover, and a story of resistance that will take players from the streets of Hillys to the vastness of space.

There's also new content to discover: Players can take on a new treasure hunt with clues that will direct them across Hillys and yield in-game cosmetic rewards that tie into Jade's past - and to the pirates of Beyond Good and Evil 2.  Beyond Good & Evil - 20th Anniversary Edition also updates the game with autosaving, cross-saves across all available platforms, remapped controls (with full support for controllers, keyboards, and mice), and the ability to skip cutscenes.
