Update: We're no closer to knowing what is happening with WiLD, as what was originally believed to be new concept art has actually been confirmed as old. The images below all first appeared on Facebook a couple of years ago, so unfortunately can't be used as evidence of the project's progress. We'll check in with Sony to see if it has anything new to say about the title, and will update when we hear back.
Original Story: What has happened to WiLD? Announced all the way back at Gamescom 2014 and playable for press even before then, Rayman creator Michel Ancel has gone completely dark on the PlayStation 4 exclusive. Could it be making the jump to the next-generation at this point? We hope so to be completely honest, and now some new concept art has appeared on the game's official website to increase our excitement levels all over again.
Posted below for you to take a look at, the five new pieces of artwork are rather striking. Combining the beauty of wildlife and the scenery that surrounds them, WiLD could still be one incredibly stunning game.
The game is certainly due for a re-reveal, but then the exact same thing happened just under a year ago where new key art was released for the title and nothing came of it. If WiLD is a PlayStation 5 game now, however, the presumed upcoming console reveal event would be the perfect time to introduce it once again.
Do you hope WiLD still sees the light of day at some point in the future? Form bonds and friendships in the comments below.

This and Beyond Good and Evil 2 were announced way too early. Still looking forward to them both, though.
Can't wait to see the new ps5 graphics
Well, fingers crossed we'll see it on PS5 at some point.
This and Beyond Good and Evil 2 are probably PS5 games now. Hopefully we see them again soon.
This is a game that'd benefit from the whole speedy SSD tech coming next-gen.
I hope we do get a re-reveal at the inevitable PS5 event.
Although I've always maintained that Ancel left this project to die after he finally got permission to make BG&E2.
@M1359 I definitely don't think this is the game for you then.
@Stevenfins I expect both of them will end up as standard Ubisoft live service grinds. So I need to see more for sure.
ALL of these are old
I've heard that this game has been canned some time ago, or that Sony had stopped supporting it but I know no official announcement has been made. Could be dusted off for PS5 I suppose.
Those "new" Concept Art were posted last year on the game's facebook page. Job well done.
@Stevenfins The always online and multiplayer focus killed Beyond Good and Evil 2 long ago for me.
As if Beyond Good & Evil 2 wasn't enough, Michel Ancel decided to work on two projects that will take forever to complete simultaneously.
@Flaming_Kaiser with Ubisoft saying they want to rethink their process, hopefully BG&E2 is one game that is affected.
I'm still very excited about this games potential. They seem to be trying to create something new. I hope it works out as the concept of forming bonds with nature seems like it could be incredibly deep.
Really hope this still coming. Was one of the games i was looking forward to.
Updated with a correction.
To @LiamCroft , what's "new" for the title Wild is in the "working with us" section : 2 (relatively) new job vacancies posted in february
(site is written in english, but dates are in french day/month/year)
So we can say the project is still on, slowly concidering 3 things :
1- small team of 25
2- still hiring and hoping to be a team of 35
3- covid-19 in france made us all confined home, yes there's telework but still slower than team work
Does WiLD stand for Welcome to Infinitely Long Development? Where is Lead Developer? Wild Is Long Dead? Will It Launch Decadesfromnow? Ok had to cheat with the last one.
this & Beyond Good & Evil 2 were mentioned too early! the good thing is we will see them on PS5 I should think. same goes for that THQ Nordic game Biomutant.
