Ah, WiLD. We still remember when the PS4 exclusive title was first announced at... Er... Gamescom 2014?! Yep, it really was that long ago. Over six years later and we still haven't seen more than a few minutes of gameplay, even after the project managed to make a brief return in 2017. Since then, we've only heard the odd whisper here and there. Most recently (September 2020), departed director Michel Ancel stated that WiLD was still in development.
We don't actually know what's going on with WiLD at this point, but there are signs that things might still be ticking along out of view. As spotted on Reddit, Wild Sheep Studios — the team behind WiLD — is in the process of hiring new employees. A fresh post on Linkedin shows that the developer is now looking for a senior gameplay programmer.
Of course, this doesn't mean that we'll suddenly be hearing about WiLD again, but at least the studio's doing something. What that something turns out to be, we'll have to wait and see.
Do you remember WiLD? Refresh your memory in the comments section below.

I loved the first trailers but after the change its not really on my radar anymore and with these delays im not getting my hopes up anymore.
To be honest I have given up hope of "Wild" ever being released..........still nice to see others had not forgot this promising title.
Oh good, I was wondering what happened to this game. It looks really fun and different, I’m happy it’s still a thing. Hopefully it will come out on the PS5!
NINJA APPROVED
More chance of George R. R. Martin finishing The Winds of Winter than there is seeing this game in the erm ...wild.
How does this even happen?
Is this a spare-time project or have there actually been people sitting in an office working on this game for 6-7 years? 😧
I thought it looked great 6 years ago but not sure it’s worth the investment at this point.
But, if they’re enjoying themselves... good for them. Just leave them to it 🤣
Remember when this was a early ps4 game? Well I hope it’ll be a great ps7 game. Hyped to play it by then.
Not sure whether "Wild" is still a thing, but the studio has been helping out other developers in support roles for years now.
Yeah this is just vaporware now. This was one of my most anticipated games but the studio doesn't event communicate about their projects anymore. Not even a "we are busy working on the game and are excited to show you more soon". Just silence for years which is not a good sign.
I love how we get random news on wild and bg&e2 once a year
Jesus, this game.... I saw the announcement trailer but then didn't hear anything about it. Until now.
@BloodNinja Are you that guy on GameSpot or ign that ends all their posts with ninja approved?
This will be so old when it releases you'll be able to buy the OG edition, the Complete Edition with all DLC, the Remastered Edition on whatever gen is current, the Legacy PS+ Edition with original graphics all in one easy package on Humble day one!!
@JON22 Perhaps! A ninja never reveals their true identity!
NINJA APPROVED
Id love to see this make a return.
WiLD Nukem Forever?
