PS4 players have been waiting for the beautiful Wild MMO for 7 years: allegedly dead

There are bad news for the MMO fanatics at PlayStation 4. In 2014, the legendary Michel Ancel developer presented a new and unusual survival MMO. Wild should offer a huge open world in which players run a world about the size of Europe. But with the exit of Michel Ancel of the development of the game, the project is apparently dead.

This is WILD: at Gamescom 2014, the new Wild MMO was presented, which was going to be developed exclusively for PlayStation. Behind the project was the legendary Michel Ancel developer, who became known for Rayman and Beyond games Good & Evil. In addition to the work of him in Ubisoft, he had opened his own new study: Wild Sheep Studio.

Wild's ideas sounded fantastic:

• Wild should offer a world of huge games, approximately the size of Europe.
• The world should be mythical and be full of legends. The world should take place 10,000 years before our time, in a world prior to civilization formed by shamanism and Celtic mythology.

* There must be a climate and dynamic stations. * The game should offer players something they want to play again and again even months later. * Players should be able to interpret all living beings of the world, for example, as a wolf, horse, sheep or trout.

There was a trailer with fantastic graphics that has obtained 740,000 visits to date.

You heard that about development: almost nothing. There have been as soon as there have been signs of life in the game for 7 years. Only on Instagram Michel Ancel announced that he was working in the game. You can also see on LinkedIn that Wild Sheep Studio now has 46 developers (through LinkedIn). Wild remains the only study project on the home page of the study.

In 2020, Michel Ancel retreated completely from the development of games. A dispute with the employees had become public. Here, a lot of dirty clothes were grown. Ancel said at that time that the two projects of him, Beyond Good & Evil 2 and Wild, were in good hands. Strong teams were working on it.

Wild is dead

That is the news now : According to journalist Jeff Grubb in a Giant Bomb video that is behind a payment wall, the work has stopped in Wild:

I can confirm that the game is over. There is no more game ... the game is dead.

Grubb says that Ancel has surrendered with the project, he is no longer working on him. The project has been discontinued. The team that worked on it is trying to stay together and work on other projects.

According to Grubb, he did not know how Wild was hired, but the developers told him they were no longer working on that.
