It ’s been more than five years since thePlayStation 4exclusiveWiLDwas announced amid much fanfare at Gamescom 2014 and devotee have been left to wonderment - is this game still happening ? Although consumer have seen very footling in the way of Modern information since July ( or since the game was denote , really ) , it would seem that the answer to that question is yes , even if it ca n’t be said with a great grade of self-assurance .
The brainchild of Michel Ancel , Divine ofUbisoft ’s vaunted platformer seriesRayman , WiLDturned head with an declaration trailer that featured a sprawl , pre - historical environment inhabit by a variety of creatures , some realistic and some fantastical . Ancel co - launch the indy game firm Wild Sheep Studio todevelop the open worldsurvival game which will use a proprietary railway locomotive that was make in - house by Ancel ’s team . That game locomotive is being plan to power a procedurally generated Neolithic world where instrumentalist can control human grapheme as well as animals .

As it stand up , WiLDstill has an prescribed secret plan page onPlayStation.comthat features an embedded trailer and multiple still double of the game , but no lean release date . PublisherSony Interactive Entertainmentalsofiled a new trademarkin the United States forWiLDin March of this year . And while no update have come since the summertime , one of the more recent posts on aWiLDFacebook pageshows Ancel with Timothy Paulevé and Christophe Heral ( Wild Sheep ’s lead sound designer and composer , respectively ) verbalize in vague damage about the game . They apportion video of a working school term as well . The last sign of life from theWiLDproject amount via a job heel onWild Sheep ’s web site , which still remains on-line . In mid - September , the studio put out a call for a Senior FX artist to join the development squad in Montpellier , France .
When a biz is announced and the developers and publisher behind it do n’t ever offer information on how it is advance , it does n’t really inspire confidence that it ’s actually going to see the light of twenty-four hours . However , it ’s deserving noting that unlike party have varying policies with compliments to showing oeuvre in progression and if a title is still in deep evolution , there ’s really petty to be gained by a studio by just saying it ’s still doing the work .
It ’s also worth noting that Ancel is spearheading oeuvre on Ubisoft’sBeyond Good and Evil 2,another long - awaited form of address , and ca n’t devote all of his time toWiLD , even if it is a passion project for him . At any charge per unit , it would seem that both games are still forthcoming . Whether they arrive before the ending of the current console generation stay to be seen .
