Everwild's Journey
The game received a brief trailer during the 2020 Xbox Games Showcase, but Rare's studio head, Craig Duncan, acknowledged that gameplay concepts were still in the brainstorming phase, In 2021, credible rumors indicated that the Everwild project had undergone a complete reboot, with an optimistic target for a 2024 release that ultimately did not materialize. Insider Jeff Grubb noted that even the development team was uncertain about the game's direction.
The silence surrounding the game was broken late last year when Rare posted a job listing for a video producer, signaling that the game had progressed far enough in development to consider sharing video content. Insider Jez Corden from Windows Central reported in October that the gameplay loop has finally been established, indicating positive momentum.
The Holiday Cheer recently, Rare delighted its Instagram followers with an Everwild-themed Christmas card, igniting hopes for a potential reveal in the upcoming year, possibly during the Xbox Summer Showcase. While this doesn’t guarantee a release next year, it suggests that a new trailer could be on the horizon.
