The mysterious yet beautiful open-world game WiLD was announced for the PS4 about 5 years ago. For some time, there has been no news, but artworks are now giving fans hope.
Why are fans hoping that WiLD will be released for the PS5? On the official website of the open-world game, artworks that players initially thought were new have appeared. However, they were not. The images had been seen before, but they have now reappeared on the page.
There is indeed something happening on the WiLD website, even if it’s just a few old images that have been brought back. Some now see this not only as a sign of life but also believe that more could be happening with the game.
Why is it likely that WiLD will be released for the PS5? WiLD was announced at gamescom in 2014 for the PS4. Back then, the first videos and screenshots made a fantastic impression. Players wondered if such a game could even be realized on the PS4.
Then it became quieter about the title, until the fear arose that WiLD had been canceled. Michel Ancel, the designer behind the game, is now also increasingly focusing on his other major project: Beyond Good and Evil 2.
Because WiLD seemed so ambitious, but was never officially canceled, there is indeed a possibility that Sony has decided to release the open-world title on the significantly more powerful PlayStation 5. Perhaps it is intended to be a launch title and will be announced again soon?
What is WiLD? It is an open-world game that is described as an action-adventure on the official website. There is still not much information available about the title, even though it has been in development for such a long time.
In WiLD, you take on the role of a human in the Neolithic age (Stone Age, approximately from 10,000 to 2,500 BC). This human is capable, through shamanic powers, of taking control of various animals. This helps him and his tribe to prevail against rival tribes. You can see what that looks like in this trailer:
In a somewhat obscure multiplayer mode, you can invite other players into your world. However, they do not have to support you. They can just as easily become your enemies.
What is special about WiLD? The game feels like an ambitious, wild dream. It offers beautiful graphics, a huge open world, the ability to slip into animal bodies… And there are so many questions still unanswered. Furthermore, it comes from Michel Ancel, who has already proven how creative he can be with Beyond Good and Evil and Rayman. Thus, WiLD could give us a very interesting and exciting open-world game full of mysteries.
Now the question arises whether Beyond Good and Evil 2 will be released before WiLD. Both are very ambitious and highly interesting games with a large open world that could also impress with an exciting multiplayer mode.
