PS4 Exclusive ‘WiLD’ Looking Good; More Updates In Coming Months

Last year during Gamescom 2014, Sony revealed PS4 exclusive WiLD from Rayman creator Michel Ancel. According Sony's External Development Studio Europe (XDEV) development is underway and looking good. More updates will follow in the coming months.

Hoping for New gameplay trailer PGW. Hoping this game is early 2016 release date.

[BartMoons]

Its been rather long since I last heard from WiLD, haven't seen any updates about this game since Gamescom 2014. Let's hope Sony shows more from this title soon. The concept is interesting but its unclear to me what the goal of the game is.

[Nekroo91]

Wait for Playstation Experience.

[jon_snow]

It's open world game with rpg element which was told during reveal. Though more info will be helpful.

[bouzebbal]

This will definitely be at PGW! Awesome i forgot all about this one..
head is spinning with all these exclusives

[Gazondaily]

Shieeeee forgot about this. Looks sublime. Lots of potential

[morganfell]

AN ORIGINAL CONCEPT.

I said months ago that it would likely be shown at the Paris Game Show. Michael Ancel and his team live and work in France so it is likely we will see it in October. This has been my most anticipated title since it was shown over a year ago.

As long as it doesn't turn out like Wander...

[jon_snow]

Wander and Wild are totally different. Wander is non combative, non competitive and mmorpg.
While Wild from trailer we can see weapons and combativ; and it's rpg not mmorpg.
Besides Wander was buggy and incomplete game, Sony games are rarely buggy.

[Christopher]

***Besides Wander was buggy and incomplete game***

That's my point... Regardless who develops it, there's always the chance.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I mean...you could say this about any game that will release lol.

Not even the same team nor concept.

[Christopher]

***Not even the same team nor concept.***

Looks extremely similar to me. Especially considering we've seen squat of real gameplay that shows what the whole purpose will be.

[BitbyDeath]

Looks more similar to Horizon: Zero Dawn imo
Or better yet an open world Tokyo Jungle.

[Christopher]

***Or better yet an open world Tokyo Jungle.***

Oh, goodness, I hope not. I'm hoping it'll be something aimed at taking on some spirit form or at least learning to do that and working your way up to new forms or something. But, no clue what it could be. I think people will play different stuff, I'm just not sure, tbh.

[BitbyDeath]

I just meant in terms of being able to play every creature and possibly even breeding mechanics.

[jb227]

This is an open world I can get behind...I'm personally tired of the same barebones stories spread over the same monotonous fetch quests & murder simulators...being able to play as any creature is an amazing prospect.

Does anyone have any info as to what kind of game this will be? Is there an online mmo type of component or will it be story focused? I'm really hoping for the latter but I won't complain if they strive for a quality element of both. PGW is going to be great, aside from Quantic Dreams title they really don't even need to announce anything new to make for a quality show, showing off more from titles like Wild & Rime will make for a quality showing in & of itself, and a great appetizer for PSX

[Haru]

Sony has so many exclusive I almost forgot half of them, they don't even need to market them that much since they have so many

[Inzo]

I wondered what happened to this game. Lets hope there is more on this game at PSExperience

[ChrisW]

A skeleton that walks like Jack Sparrow? Weird...

[VER1ON]

A skeleton makes its appearance several times in the announcement trailer and seems to fill in some roll in the 'tribe' setting of the game.

[Roronoa0411]

One of my most anticipated games! Looking forward to seeing more!

[Yukes]

With you there. It's an Ancel project so my interest is definitely piqued.

[JMaine518]

Yay! Was losing hope abut this game. Hopefully at one of these next few conferences Sony has coming up.

[medman]

Never lose hope! Keep hope alive! Bring me Wild, Rime, No Man's Sky, and The Tomorrow Children ASAP and I'm a happy guy.

[BitbyDeath]

And Alienation

[Paytaa]

I completely forgot about this game but I was really intrigued by the whole premise. I think if this game delivers on its promise it could be a huge hit.

[skulz7]

The size of Europe?!?! How is that even possible?!

[THC CELL]

Not the power of cloud that's for sure lol

[poppinslops]

Three ways that I can think of...

- divide the area into zones seperated by loading screens (Like DA: Inquisition or TW3: Wild Hunt).

- procedural generation (ala Minecraft/No Man's Sky).

- keeping the graphics 'basic' and building a relatively featureless landscape.

[callahan09]

The only thing is that if it was procedural generation like No Man's Sky, couldn't it basically be infinite in size? No Man's Sky is infinite in size, theoretically, right? I'm not as familiar with Minecraft (I'm probably the only gamer on Earth who doesn't know what Minecraft plays like, haha) so I don't know if that might be the better explanation of how it works.

[poppinslops]

No Man's Sky gives the illusion of being infinite in size, but all it really does is repeatedly randomize a small-scale solar system, logs the details and applies them to the relevant position on the galaxy map (which is apparently shared by all the players)... when you warp to 'another' system it repeats the process.

[BitbyDeath]

Graphics looked pretty amazing if the trailer was anything to go by

[cannon8800]

@ skulz7 If you really want to know, then watch this video. It's pretty interesting. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[trywizardo]

damn , i don't know why i forgot this game
is there any info about it (like the world , gameplay or its genre)

[jb227]

That's what I'd like to find out as well. Seems like people were assuming it may be some form of MMO when it was revealed but I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed as such. I do remember the trailers repeatedly referencing those skeleton creatures & I remember one large skeleton submerged in water. It's just strange considering everything else in the world has a real life counterpart but these skeletons stick out as an important story component, assuming there even is a story...could be like Rayman where we just get funny sounds in lieu of actual dialogue. With Michel Ancel at the helm the only guarantee is that it'll be something special. Hope we hear more at PGW for sure.

[trywizardo]

yeah , the funny skeleton character and the giant skeleton definitely have something to the main story , and there was a giant lady inside a tree xD
I thought when I watched the trailer that its gonna be RPG game with survival-exploring elements ...

[guyman]

my most anticipated indie game

[Rimgal]

It's not an Indie game. Sony is fully funding the game and owns the IP.

https://oami.europa.eu/eSea...

[_-EDMIX-_]

Beat me to it.

[user9950279]

This and Tomorrow Children are the two games on my radar for PS4 right now. Hoping the latter launches soon.

[S2Killinit]

I like the direction this is going in.

[Lastlivingsoul]

I bought a PS4 the month after they showed The Wild, No Man's Sky, Rime, Abzu, Starbound and The Tomorrow Children for the first time. Until then I didn't think I would get a "next-gen" console. That was quite a while ago, and as of now we still don't really know when any of those are being released. I've never really been bored with my PS4, and there have been some great games, but l'm so ready to play this handful of games that sold me on the system to begin with.

[FoxyGotGame]

Damn, that's awesome news! ...I was intrigued by WiLD and wondered what the heck happened to it.

Glad it's still on track...so many games that have been revealed for PS4 over past 18 Months that have gone silent. I expect many of these games to surface between the latter part of 2015 and 2016 /

[tulholdren]

Another Sony exclusive that I have been waiting for more info on I hope they show more at one of there future events. Man Sony on fire right now.

[Germany7]

Can't wait for more details and looks like that you can control any creature of the game.

[Truthandreason]

This is one of my most anticipated games, I look forward to this much more than typical blockbusters.

[MasterofMagnetism]

Glad to hear about this game again. Hoping to see some more gameplay in the near future.

[NarfleGarthok]

This looks like it could be very good.

[masterfox]

So damn intrigued by this game, also the music sounds epic.

[WizzroSupreme]

Looks fantastic. Exactly like the kind of indie games I love to play.

[Bathyj]

Sounds very ambitious, I hope they can pull it off.

Not that theyre the same type of game, but since then we've had the Horizon reveal and both do have a similar open world, tribal feel to them. I hope Horizon doesnt over shadow this and both games have their own time in the sun to breathe. Either way its a nice problem to have.

Now show us Rime Sony!

[FoxyGotGame]

Yeap..Rime is another cool looking game I 'd like to see more on. I wish Sony brought back 8 Days & The Getaway /

[_-EDMIX-_]

"“When we started working on WiLD we wanted to make sure that we would have fun playing our own game even after months and months of development! This is the reason why the world of WiLD is the size of Europe, with dynamic weather and seasons, and filled with interactive opportunities that feel endless.

Every time you play you’ll discover new things, even in the same place as before"

Very, very excited to hear more.

[Kos-Mos]

Lifeless and hollow. That`s what I thought after watching the trailer.

[SynestheticRoar]

A new IP from Micheal Ancel. Sounds look to me.

[Dfooster]

Developers need to stop using the equation of bigger game world = more fun. If anything it's the opposite because then they fill that space with repetitive gameplay mechanics. It's impossible not to with a map that size.
