Former head of Sony Interactive Entertainment Global Studio, Shoure Yoshida revealed the reason why the survival game Wild, developed by Wild Sheep Studio and Ubisoft Paris, was cancelled.

In an interview with MinnMax's YouTube channel, former head of Sony Interactive Entertainment's global studio, Shuhei Yoshida recalled the project that was cancelled after it was announced during his tenure.Although the games showed off multiple trailers in various launch events, Sony Interactive Entertainment ultimately failed to complete their development.He said the cancellation of these games had a big blow to him personally because everyone was full of hope and expectation when the project was launched.Yoshida said he really hopes some of these games will be released.

Yoshida was asked which game cancellation project that made him most distressed during his tenure at Sony Interactive Entertainment.He mentioned Michel Ansel's "Wild".The former head of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s global studio recalls imagining a “magnificent” vision with Ansel and his team.He has worked with this team for a long time and has experienced generations of game console changes.Eventually, to his disappointment, Wild had to be cancelled.

According to Yoshida, the reason why Wild was cancelled was because many great ideas failed to be implemented in the actual game architecture.He recalled that one of the original ideas of the game was that its world map would be as big as Europe.It is this excessive ambition that ultimately led to the death of this survival game.The game was originally planned to include dynamic weather and seasonal changes, online gameplay, and players can choose to play as a variety of wild animals, including wolves, sheep, fish, ants, cats and birds.Players will manipulate a human character, able to reconnaise with small animals, or use large animals to assist in fighting other humans.By using Shaman Power, players can "possess" animals, switch to the perspective of the manipulated animals, and use their special skills and traits.

In August 2024, Wild Sheep Studio’s creative director Steven Te Hyde confirmed that Wild is no longer in active development.
