VIDEO: Michel Ancel’s Wild is certainly ambitious

One of the more interesting surprises to emerge from last night’s conferences was fascinating new indie outing Wild.

The PS4 exclusive is being made by Rayman creator Michel Ancel and his new studio Wild Sheep, the existence of which was revealed only earlier this month.

The world of Wild is the size of Europe, with dynamic weather and seasons, and filled with interactive opportunities that feel endless,” Ancel said of the game.
