But it trades the salty seas and sandy beaches for lush forests and bioluminescent creatures. Everwild has a similarly vibrant art style to Rare’s most recent game, Sea of Thieves. We can’t be sure what Everwild will be in 2024 or beyond, but from trailers and leaks, we have some understanding of what it was going to be, anyway. And I’ll say, when you look at it from the outside and you hear words like ‘reset’ and ‘restructure,’ those are probably a little more definite and a little more extreme than what really happens as a game comes to life,” Booty said on Kinda Funny.

“What is Rare known for? They’re known for creating new IP and creating worlds. Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, did try to quiet some concerns last year following the report of a reboot. A “complete reboot” with a turnaround of two or three years may not be enough time for what is likely to be Rare’s next major project, but then again, games are so often delayed anyway, maybe the 2024 date being floated by some credible reports can be thrown out as highly unlikely. That leaves Everwild in a very uncertain state, at least according to what we last heard publicly. The game is now said to be “optimistically” targeting a 2024 launch. According to a VGC report, the game has been “completely” rebooted under Rare’s Gregg Mayles (who also worked on Sea of Thieves) following the departure of Creative Director Simon Woodroffe. Release date and “reboot”Įverwild is currently without a release date, in part because the game has allegedly gone under an internal reboot, with development on the game reportedly proving more difficult than once expected. Here’s everything we know about Everwild so far. The reasons for that are complex, but there’s still plenty to be excited about if you’re waiting for what should be a visual feast at the very least. Everwild, Rare’s co-op action-adventure game set in a world of magnificent flora and fauna, was first revealed in 2019, but now, three years later, we arguably know less than we did back then.
