Michel Ancels demonstration av vildmarksäventyret Wild på Sonys Paris Games Week-konferens i tisdags gjorde flera av oss på redaktionen kollriga av längtan. Inte blir den heller mindre när Ancel avslöjar att spelet har ett multiplayerläge som är inspirerat av Dark Souls-serien och Bloodborne.
"Controlling animals is very interesting when you play online - you could have another player attacking you with rabbits, or other crazy situations," säger Ancel.
"You know in games like Bloodborne? The multiplayer system there is very interesting and exciting. People can help you, or they can hurt you. And other players will try to mimic the AI, to appear undetected. In this game, any animal could be dangerous, because it could be another player in there. Someone could approach you as a frog, then jump into a more dangerous animal."
