Rare has published the first new Everwild art in nearly three years, suggesting it could potentially ramp up pre-release marketing for the game in 2025.Rare announced the new IP in November 2019 and released another trailer in July 2020, but updates on the game since then have been rare.However, fans finally got another glimpse of the game this week, via Rare’s Instagram Christmas card, which features festive-themed Everwild art.A post shared by Rare Ltd (@rareltd) In 2021, VGC sources with knowledge of Everwild’s development claimed the game’s design had essentially been “restarted from scratch”, meaning it would likely be several years before it’s released.At the time, VGC’s sources claimed Everwild’s development team was “optimistically” targeting a 2024 release for the game, which would mark a decade of development for Everwild, which spent many years in experimental prototyping (obviously, this target date has since slipped).In response to an advance copy of our story, Everwild’s executive producer Louise O’Connor confirmed elements of the report, including the appointment of designer Gregg Mayles as its new creative director.Xbox’s then-Game Studios boss Matt Booty later said Rare’s Everwild team wanted to make sure it had “something special” before showing the game publicly again.
