    It seems I have identified the issue plaguing me.
    It was indeed a save file corruption.

    Alas, fiddeling or deleting the PLAYSAVEDATA01, SYSTEMSAVEDATA or WILD HEARTS changed naught.

    Those directories remained empty even after launching the game, until they were not ?
    It seems like cloud save on the EA side of things either checked the cloud save andor updated the directory from time to time as it would fill up on occasion even thought the game always failed to launch.

    Going in offline mode was pointless as the game simply refused to launch with the EA app on offline mode or with my connection offline.

    What I did to solve the problem was to launch the game through the EA app while being online and when the Wild Heart executable file appeared on my task manager, I would cut off my internet.

    The first time it crashed the app before launching but the second time, I received an error message from the EA app saying my save files couldn't be downloaded from the cloud and if I launched the game as it, it would be lost.
    After said message appeared, the game finally launched ( with my previous save lost ).


    From that experience, I can safely says that the crash on launch was indeed due to corrupted save file on the cloud, preventing most troubleshooting on my side of things.
