Wild
Walk on the… never mind
We’ve been waiting for Wild for a
long time indeed. Development
was announced in 2014, but since
2015 we’ve heard nothing more
about it. Early in 2017, however, Michel Ancel,
cult-classic machine and lead mind behind
indie studio and Wild developer Wild Sheep,
breathed new hype into the train with a teaser
post suggesting that there’s life in the old beast
yet, and that was all we needed to know.
With the recent success of other online
open-world experiences like Ark: Survival
Evolved and Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds,
the delay might well ensure that it’s dropped
into a market hungry for similar titles. Set in a
mythical version of prehistoric earth, Wild
features procedurally generated open-world
survival, online play, interactions with strange
folkloric beings who unlock your shamanic
powers, and making friends with bears and
wolves (everyone’s favourite adorably deadly
compaions). No word is out on what release
date Wild is currently aiming for, but we’re
guessing at this point it’ll likely be a 2019 release.
The wait is driving us… potty.
