Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil designer Michel Ancel revealed the first project from his new studio, Wild Sheep, at Sony’ s Gamescom 2014 press briefing. It’s a PlayStation 4 exclusive called Wild.

The trailer — which, it should be mentioned, appears to be more of a proof of concept than a look at gameplay — shows a lush, open world, inhabited by all manner of beasts, primitive hunter-gatherers, living skeletons, and giants. Wild is an online survival adventure game set 10,000 years ago, a time when nature and humanity were one.

Little else is known about the gameplay except for the intriguing tidbit Ancel gave in his introduction: Players will be able to take on the role of not just humans, but any animal in the world. Check out the trailer below.

The Cyber Monday deals are pouring in and they're some of the best we've seen in a long while, especially if you're into gaming. Why? Mainly because GameStop is hosting some crazy deals right now, particularly on Xbox One and PS4 games. You see, if you buy two games you'll get one free, and it's for any preowned titles from those two consoles. We're talking about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Madden NFL 23, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring, and we could go on all day but you get the point. Shop the sale below, or keep reading to see some of our top picks.

Typically, with buy-two-get-one sales like this, you see a lot of older titles and the selection is pretty limited. That's not the case with the GameStop Cyber Monday sale. All preowned Xbox One and PS4 titles are fair game, including even some of the newer releases. There's nothing special needed to take advantage of the deal either, just add all three games to your cart and the discount will automatically apply at checkout.
