So... the latest interview claims that Michel Ancel was going to leave Ubisoft right after the development of Rayman Legends, as he currently has a new studio, "Wildsheep", but he was dragged back by his friend Yves Guillemot to work on Beyond Good and Evil 2. Looks like we won't be talking Rayman for a looooooong time.
Well that's pretty much how I imagined the situation in the first place:
- Yves, I want to make BG&E2.
- Oh come on, Michel my friend, you should make more Rayman games now that the Rabbids got a separate franchise! Let's reinvent the thing!
- Fine...
(Rayman Origins release)
- Can I make BG&E2 now, Yves?
- But Michel my friend, Origins was a massive success! We must ride the waves and make a superior sequel, so your fans will be amazed once again!
- Fine...
(Rayman Legends release)
- Can I make my dream game now, Yves?
- Legends didn't really meet our financial expectations Michel, so instead of chasing this dream of yours you should focus on delivering Legends to as many platforms at once as you're physically capable of, also don't forget to make a third spin-off mobile title, so we can get some little extra profit from microtransactions.
- Fiiiiine...
(Rayman Legends Nextgen re-release, Rayman Adventures release)
- How about now, Yves?
- How about no, Michel? My AC-team needs some extra devpower, so you really should help out those guys whenever you can! :/
- How about fuck off, then? Imma leave this place and fund my own place where I can do whatever the fuck I want. :3
(Michel starts his own place with his own projects)
- FINE! FINE! You won Michel, you can do your blasted beloved dream game, just don't leave us for Polokus' sake! X(
