KitGuru Says: Everwild is still on the way, but it sounds like it is going to take a lot longer than anticipated. If all of this proves to be true, then it is unlikely that we see Everwild in action or at a major Xbox event any time soon. The initial reveal trailer for Everwild did not give us any gameplay details and as it turns out, the team was “struggling to define a clear direction” for the game, in part due to a decision to not include any combat. In response to the report, Everwild executive producer, Louise O'Connor, confirmed some of the claims, such as the fact that Mayles is now Creative Director on the project, but did not confirm the reboot or targeted release window. People familiar with the game's development said that the game has been “restarted from scratch” and now, the studio is targeting a 2024 release window, although it could slip further. Suffice to say, it had good reason for missing E3 2021. According to sources speaking with VGC, Everwild's new creative director is none other than Rare veteran, Gregg Mayles, and the game is now being rebooted. Everwild Rare have started over on Everwild, rumours say Not that we ever knew what it was News by Alice OConnor Associate Editor Published on J4 comments Rare were at Microsofts E3 pressblast this weekend, but only to show off a Sea Of Thieves crossover with Pirates Of The Carribean. Due to the reboot, Everwilds new 'optimistic' release window is in 2024. Late last year, Rare creative director, Simon Woodroffe, left the company and as a result, the Everwild team was shaken up a bit. In 2019, Microsoft showed off an initial trailer for the very pretty Everwild, an upcoming description-free game from Rare Studios. I'm saving like 500 by being a game pass sub because I was planning on playing Back4Blood, Psychonauts 2, Sea of Thieves, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, AoE4, Yakuza 7, the indies shown, etc. As it turns out, it looks like Everwild has been rebooted and is restarting development. There's new content coming for the rest of the year and beyond. Curiously, Rare's next game, Everwild, was missing despite being announced back in 2019. Xbox really doubled down on new first-party game announcements during E3 this year, with new trailers for Starfield, Halo Infinite, Redfall, The Outer Worlds 2 and more.
