Quote from article:

"Michel Ancel, the mastermind responsible for Rayman, Beyond Good & Evil, and more at publisher Ubisoft, is participating in the creation of Wild Sheep Studio, a new indie outfit in Montpellier, France. The team is working on something original under the leadership of director Céline Tellier who previously worked with Ancel on the Rayman games. While Ancel is the latest developer to go into the independent-gaming scene after years working for a triple-A publisher, he actually isn’t leaving his position at Ubisoft Montpellier, according to French reports."

Looks as if Ancel is still at the helm for Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil 2 for Ubi -- even though we know little about what Ubisoft is planning to do next with those two titles. I for one am interested in what new things Ancel has for us!

Everything is fine as long as he keeps working on Beyond Good & Evil 2! I really want to play the game as soon as possible..

Weird that he's contributing to two different studios, but I'm all for Ancel spreading the wealth, so to speak. He's one of the most talented game makers in the industry.

Now, pleasantries aside, please give us Beyond Good & Evil 2.

i hope he bring us more rayman and that his new title is a platformer. rayman is the best platformer on the market these days,.. it would be a shame not to get more. i'd be sad panda.

Fixed for truth

Agreed. I played Origins for the first time this past winter. LOVED IT. I'm currently playing Legends. I'm amazed at the creativity in level design and gameplay over Origins. It's not as difficult as Origins but definitely bigger and more diverse. That's saying a lot because I thought Origins was exactly that when I first played it. I wonder what they could do with another installment in the series.

Well, his relationship to Ubisoft isn't the very best. He might finish BG&E 2 and leave them.
I understand that he wants do work on some other projects.

i was right the first time.   rayman >> mario

Yeah, like youve played on the WiiU...

Theres also Donkey Kong

Hey there now settle down you two!

I own Legends, Mario, and DK on the Wii U. Legends is right with there Mario and DK -- arguably better, especially to those who don't normally play 2d platformers, because it doesn't have some of the annoying aspects of Mario and DK (thought those two are still awesome).
