#EVERWILD REBOOT SERIES#

With the new context of these reports from VGC and GamesBeat, we have a sense of just how early things were back then - and are today, now that Rare has rebooted the project. Duncan’s comments characterized the game as being in a nascent, embryonic stage of development.

It’s worth looking back now on Polygon’s interview with Rare studio head Craig Duncan from July 2020, just prior to the debut of the most recent Everwild trailer.

“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.” “Since showing the world our Eternals trailer, we have been making progress on all aspects of Everwild. “Gregg Mayles joined us, late last year as Creative Director, and the team has never been stronger,” O’Connor said in the statement. Everwild executive producer Louise O’Connor confirmed the appointment in a statement to VGC. Gregg Mayles - who has worked at Rare for more than three decades, and is the studio’s most senior employee on the creative side, according to VGC - has been tapped as creative director for the ongoing reboot, VGC reports. Xbox fans wondering why Rare’s Everwild didn’t show up at Sunday’s E3 showcase now have an answer: The studio has “completely rebooted” the open-world adventure game under a new creative director, and its release is multiple years away, reports Video Games Chronicle.Ĭiting sources with knowledge of Everwild’s development, VGC reports that Rare has undertaken “a complete overhaul of the game’s design and direction” following the departure last fall of its previous creative director, Simon Woodroffe.
