Remember Wild? It's the open-world survival adventure game from Wild Sheep Studios and the creator of Beyond Good and Evil and Rayman, Michel Ancel, that is being developed exclusively for PlayStation 4. I don't blame you if you don't remember it. We haven't seen or head anything about the game since 2015, and as a result many think it's nothing more than vaporware. But, apparently, it's still alive and kicking.
More specifically, out of nowhere, Sony Interactive Entertainment filed for a new trademark in the United States for none other than Wild, confirming the game hasn't been cancelled, and that it could still yet release in the near future.
Former head of PlayStation WorldWide Studios Shu Yoshida has shed light on why Wild Sheep Studio and Ubisoft Paris' Wild was canceled.
Very shameful I hope ubisoft if they go bankrupt should get there servers and release the files online since by that time they'll be defunct
I was hyped for the game when they showed the first trailers, to bad it didnt make it.
That's the thing with Sony, they keep knocking out these 'running about' games. I thought Sony would've released Driveclub on PS5 with extra tracks and with VR. A new Motorstorm didn't surface on PS4 or even a Motorstorm collection as with Uncharted and God of War. Wild probably would've been a top game and the chances of Sony going back to it is probably never going to happen. The Getaway 3 was canned on PS3, although the first game was flawed and the sequel took a graphics downgrade and was tragic. Sony are clinically obsessed with this genre.
Former Ubisoft designer Michel Ancel has said the way his game Wild was handled was “a real scandal”.
I was so disappointed that this game died.
But Ancel himself isn't entirely clean....
He has an habit of not finishing games.
Man there's quite a long line forming of canceled/dormant 3rd party projects for PlayStation that never came out...

And I know there's more!
I was really stoked for this. I liked that giant Snake-lady god or whatever it was. It looked like it had some great art direction.

The E3 trailer got me excited about this one. Glad it's still in development.
great
This has gone deep into vaproware territory for me personally, it's gonna take something good to drag it back onto my radar honestly. Not saying i don't want to get it, just saying it's hard to remember something that's been quiet this long.
Considering we haven't heard anything at all in over 3 years, the game is likely going through development hell. This is why games shouldn't be announced until they're close to release. The hype for this game is pretty much dead and it would take a lot to get people really interested in it again.
Sure. And we'll see it after about 3 or 4 different Division games, Watch Dog games,etc. Just like we had to wait through a lot of Splinter Cells just to get a port of Beyond Good and Evil and told a sequel was based on its sales. And when we do see it, it's nothing like what fans want. And it still hasn't gotten a release.
I'll believe it when I see it. Especially if it's without a grind fest game mechanic.
