Rayman Creator Michael Ancel Founds New Studio



by Nick Dowell

Michel Ancel, creator of Ubisoft's Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil, announced that he is founding a new studio, reportedly called Wild Sheep.

Despite taking on a new venture, he will continue to work on projects for Ubisoft Montpellier, one of which is a new title.

"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," said Xavier Pox, managing director of Ubisoft Annecy, Paris, and Montpellier in a statement emailed to Game Informer.

With his work on incredibly fun games like Rayman, it's easy to get excited for whatever new endeavors Ancel is dreaming up.
