Xbox fans have been wondering where Rare’s Everwild is since the game missed Microsoft’s E3 2021 presentation. According to VGC, Everwild has been rebooted and targeting a 2024 release now. The departure of creative director Simon Woodroffe led to an overhaul of the game along with big changes to leadership and overall direction. It will be quite a while before the game comes out because the game is now starting over from scratch. According to developers at Rare, they’re optimistic about meeting the 2024 release window and new creative director Gregg Mayles is leading the project. Mayles’ resume includes design on Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie to name a few. Here’s what executive producer Louise O’Conner had to say:
“The team behind Everwild continue to shape a truly magical experience and remain focused and excited about creating a new game centred around a truly unique, new world,” she said.
“Gregg Mayles joined us, late last year as Creative Director, and the team has never been stronger. Since showing the world our Eternals trailer, we have been making progress on all aspects of Everwild.
“The team continues to work hard to realise our vision and to bring the magic of nature in Everwild to life for players around the world.”
In the meantime, fans of Xbox have many new games to look forward to like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5 and much more. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest gaming news and updates from E3 2021!
