Everwild: everything we know so far

techradar.com:

Everwild is the brand new game from Sea of Thieves developer Rare which promises to give us our fix of magic and nature. But the Xbox exclusive hasn't had the smoothest of development journies.

Revealed during XO19, Everwild's announcement trailer painted a picture of the magical and nature-rich world inhabited by a world of enchanting (and peculiar) looking creatures while a second trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase in 2020 introduced us to 'Eternals', the human player characters that have a «symbiotic» relationship with these creatures. Little was shared about the game's narrative or gameplay and then things went quiet, with Everwild noticeably absent from Xbox's showcase at E3 2021. And we may now know why.

A report by VGC(opens in new tab) claims that Everwild has been rebooted with a new creative director and a tentative 2024 release window target, with the game's initial design having been «started from scratch». But according to Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty, speaking with Kinda Funny(opens in new tab) in October 2021, words like «reset» and «restructure» sound «more definite and a little more extreme» than the reality of the situation.

Everwild now seems to be back on track, though, with Booty stating during the interview that the Rare team «don't want to keep things hidden for too long». But how different the Xbox exclusive will look compared to its first two trailers remains to be seen.

We're hoping to finally see the «rebooted» Everwild, and find out more details, at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase taking place on June 12 as part of Summer Game Fest 2022. So make sure to check out our guide on how to watch the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase to catch all the action live.
