Michel Ancel, the creator of beloved franchises like Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil, has announced that he's founding a new indie studio dubbed Wild Sheep.
That said, Ubisoft has confirmed that Ancel will not be parting ways with Ubi… at least not yet. According to the publisher, he still has a few projects in the works at its Montpellier studio.
"Ubisoft Montpellier is a hotbed for artistic game development, including great games like Rayman, Beyond Good and Evil, and Valiant Hearts.” Ubisoft managing director Xavier Poix shared in a statement sent to Game Informer.
"We are fortunate to have some of the industry’s finest talents, including Michel Ancel, working with us at our studio. In addition to spending some of his time on this new venture, Michel is leading the creative development of select projects at Ubisoft Montpellier, including an extremely ambitious new title that is very close to his and the team’s heart."
I don't know about you, but I'm still holding out hope for that Beyond Good & Evil sequel Ancel has been teasing for far too long.
