Xbox exclusive Everwild is still in the early stages of development and it could be a while before we get the chance to play it.
EVERWILD 2022 UPDATE
The report claims, according to VGC's publishing sources, following the departure of Everwild's creative director, Simon Woodroffe, the game's design has been “restarted from scratch” with Gregg Mayles (whose previous credits include Banjo-Kazooie and Sea of Thieves) at the helm.Īccording to the report, due to this reboot, it will be a while before we get an update on Everwild, with Rare now "optimistically" targeting a 2024 release date. "'What are they making? How is this ever going to come together?' Then you balance that out with a day later, this build comes together and you're like 'this is magic.'"Īccording to a report by VGC (opens in new tab), Everwild was absent from E3 2021 because the game has been "completely rebooted" following the departure of its creative director. "There are some days where you're just terrified," Booty added. They're just trying to make sure that they've got something special." I think that's where the Everwild team is right now.
"Every day you're making hundreds of small decisions and at the end of however long you work on the game, they all add up. "He used to say that a game gets made a thousand small decisions at a time," Booty said.
I'll say when you look at it from the outside, when you hear words like 'reset' and maybe 'restructure,' those are probably a little more definite and a little more extreme than what really happens as a game comes to life."īooty compared the development cycle to his time working with NBA Jam developer Mark Trammell. "They're known for creating new IP and creating worlds. Speaking with Kinda Funny (opens in new tab) in October 2021, Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty explained that using words like "reset" and "restructure" sound "more definite and a little more extreme" than the reality of the situation. It's worth noting that previously confirmed news and features may now be redundant, given the game's reported reboot (read more on that below). We've rounded up all the biggest news and rumors around Everwild below for your perusal. Check it out below (or check out the director's commentary trailer (opens in new tab) for even more insight): It's worth bearing in mind that, given reports of a reboot, it's unclear how much of what's shown in this trailer will be in the final product, but it's still a lovely trailer to watch. While this trailer gives us a closer look at Everwild's world, and highlights that the game seems to hinge on humans and nature working together, it didn't shed much light on the game's actual narrative – or what gameplay will involve. Rare's second Everwild trailer was released during the Xbox Games Showcase in July 2020 and revealed more of Everwild's magical world and peculiar creatures, and also introduced us to 'Eternals', the player characters. That means we can expect unparalleled load-times, visuals, responsiveness, and framerates up to 120 fps.
EVERWILD 2022 SERIES
What's more, Everwild will be an Xbox Series X|S Optimized title, meaning it has been developed to take advantage of the capabilities of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. It'll also be available on Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on day one. While it may be a while before we get our hands on Everwild, we do know the game will be an Xbox exclusive, coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC.
Rare still hasn't confirmed the Everwild release date, but VGC's report claims that the developer is now "optimistically" targeting a 2024 release date following a reboot.
