History and description
WiLD began development in 2014 at Wild Sheep Studio, a company founded by former Ubisoft employee Michel Ancel. Initial plans for the game included a very large, continental sized open world, dynamic weather as well as seasonal variations, online play, and the ability to play as any creature in the world - such as wolves, sheep, fish and so on.[1] A gameplay trailer for the game was shown at Gamescom 2014.[2]
Further in development gameplay was shown at Paris Games Week 2015 - showing how animals can be controlled by using shamanic like powers - once 'possessing' an animal the gameplay moves to the point of view of the controlled creature, and then proceeds using the skills and characteristics of that animal.[3]
The game is set during the Neolithic period (6000-500 BC) in a procedurally generated world around the size of Europe.[4] Smaller animals can be used to spy on others, whilst larger animals can be used to support the player and their tribe in fights with other humans.[5]
