Job listings newly posted at Wild Sheep Studio are the latest evidence that the highly-anticipated PlayStation exclusive Wild is still in development. Wild was at one point one of the most interesting games being showcased by PlayStation. However, it has largely disappeared over the past five years, leading to questions of whether it was even still being worked on by Wild Sheep Studio. While several job listings aren't firm evidence of Wild's continued development, it's about as close as it gets.

The job listings were discovered by a user on ResetEra, taken from the official Wild Sheep Studio website. The jobs themselves and their listings aren't particularly notable. There are listings for a Graphics Programmer, a Senior Gameplay Programmer, a Tools/Pipeline Programmer, a Senior Engine Programmer, and a Level Artist. What they do imply is that Wild Sheep Studio is actively hiring for an ongoing project, with Wild being Wild Sheep Studio's only currently known project.

While Wild Sheep Studio itself has remained quite about the status of Wild since it was shown during Paris Games Week in 2015, that doesn't mean that there hasn't been news about it. Michel Ancel, who founded Wild Sheep Studio but resigned in September 2020, shared a statement following his departure. He said he knew many were interested in "what will happen to Wild," and then followed by saying that the team at Wild Sheep Studio is "autonomous" and that the project is "going super well."

The idea then isn't that Wild may have been canceled sometime between 2015 and 2020, anymore, so much as the status of the project could have been tenuous and Ancel's departure left open the possibility of things going south. As such, the new job listings imply that since Ancel left, Wild Sheep Studio continues to move forward on its work.

There's always a possibility that Wild Sheep Studio is working on something other than Wild, of course. Wild may have also changed dramatically since it was showcased in 2015, and it could be unrecognizable. Further, there's a question of whether Sony is still publishing Wild or whatever project Wild Sheep Studio is working on. Confirmation of PlayStation's involvement would go a long way to relieve worries about the project.

When Ancel left Wild Sheep Studio, he also mentioned that there are, "beautiful things to be seen soon." Perhaps Wild Sheep Studio will share what it's working on before too long. With nearly seven years passing since Wild was last seen, it has been a long time since the last proper update. Still, Wild Sheep Studio is likely more frustrated about that than those excited for Wild are.

Wild is currently in development.
