Michel Ancel er unægteligt mest kendt for Rayman og Beyond Good & Evil og dermed for sit arbejde hos Ubisoft. Nu varmer han dog op til en karriere som uafhængig spilskaber. Det sker med Wild Sheep Studio, hvor han sammen med 13 andre spilfolk skal skabe sit helt eget.
Han fortsætter dog sideløbende hos Ubisoft Montpellier og Ubisoft forsikrer da også at hans skift ikke betyder, at Beyond Good & Evil 2 er droppet, det sker med følgende udtalelse:
"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."
