Michel Ancel, best known for having created Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil, has announced that he's started up a new indie developer with 13 employees and it's called Wild Sheep Studio. Their first game will be the start of a whole new series, and with Ancel involved we're guessing it's going to be something on the creative side.

Ancel will keep working with Ubisoft Montpellier where he's developing Beyond Good & Evil 2. It's not perfectly clear how this arrangement will work and how hands-on Ancel will be during the remainder of the development on that game. After teasing us for a long time and Ubisoft finally saw it fit to confirm the existence of the game as news broke of Ancel's new plans:

"In many ways, BG&E is an inimitable game - it appeals to all generations of gamers and is an inspiration behind many of Ubisoft Montpellier's past and future games. It's still far too early to give many details about this new title, but what we can say is that while Michel and the team at Ubisoft Montpellier are working with the core tenets of BG&E, they're developing something that aspires to push past the boundaries of a proverbial sequel and leverages next-gen technologies to deliver a truly surprising, innovative and exceptional game. The entire team is excited about the direction this extremely ambitious project is taking, and we'll have more to share later, as it progresses."
