Do you remember Michel Ancel?s upcoming open world survival game, WiLD" It was announced back in 2014 at gamescom and has yet to see the light of day, with speculation that it had been quietly canceled. Well, all of that might be out the window, as Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed a trademark for the exclusive title. This implies that it?s still in development.

Ancel, who you might know for his work with the Rayman series, made an effort to give the community vague updates about the game?s development. He said things like, ?[they were] still working hard on it? as of July of 2018.
