''Beyond Good & Evil'' takes place in the year 2435, on a once-idyllic mining planet named Hillys. The game's world is inhabited by a society composed of humans and anthropomorphic animals who co-exist peacefully. The architecture seen in the game is of a rustic European style, but more technologically advanced elements such as credit cards, email, hovercrafts and spaceships and are also featured.

The game's main protagonist is a young photojournalist named Jade (voiced by Jodi Forrest, who also provided the vocalisations for [[Tily]], [[Razorwife]] and [[Globette]] in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and ''[[Rayman Rush]]''). She lives in a lighthouse orphanage with her adoptive uncle – an anthropomorphic pig named Pey'j (voiced by [[David Gasman]], the actor who has voiced [[Rayman]] since 1999). Like Rayman, Jade's origins are mysterious, and she is eventually revealed as a ‘chosen one’ with unique abilities. By the opening of the game, Hillys is beset my a monstrous alien force known as the DomZ, which comprise the majority of the enemies encountered throughout the game. Parallels can be drawn between the DomZ and the space-faring [[Robo-Pirate]]s in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. A dictatorial military group known as the Alpha Sections exercise an authoritarian regime over the Hyllian people under the guise of preotecting them from the DomZ. Early on in the game, Jade is contacted by the IRIS Network, an underground organisation intent on uncovering the conspiracy between the DomZ and the Alpha Sections and liberating the people from their rule.
