Wild, a previously upcoming PlayStation title from 2014, has been canceled according to an industry insider. 

As shared by VGC, journalist and industry insider Jeff Grubb recently stated in a Giant Bomb video: "I can confirm that the game is fully done. There is no Wild anymore… Wild is dead."

In the same video, Grubb gives more detail about the situation stating: "I think Michel Ancel abandoned the project… he’s not working on it anymore, the project got shut down," he continues by saying “I don’t know what happened with that, but [the team] were like, 'we’re not working on [Wild] anymore, but we do have a lot of talent here, so maybe we can work on some stuff.'"

The game did pop up again a few years after its initial announcement however the last we saw of it was through an Instagram post shared by Ancel in 2017 which featured a shot of the upcoming game. 

Another game that was being developed by Ancel, however still hasn’t seen the light of day, was Beyond Good & Evil 2, which was recently announced as still in development with Ubisoft and "progressing well" after initially being announced in 2008.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
