When announced rare Everwild At the Xbox E3 2019 conference, the surprise was complete. It was suggested that there was no new project leak like the one presented by the studio that day, and many players were pleasantly surprised by the game’s enchanted world. Three years later, the title is still very mysterious, but today we know more.

Nader had given few details about the game, but he was already talking at the time about a title designed to deliver “Powerful and engaging experiences that players can share”.
Coming from the studio that made sea of thieves, one can easily imagine a similar concept, a large open world in which multiplayer experiences can be lived. And that’s what seems planned if we believe the profile of Gregg Mayles, Creative Director at Everwild.
Spotted by Klobrille on Twitter, Miles said he takes care of the gameplay experiences in Everwild with Unreal Engine 4 with a particular focus on “Quick iterations and automatic quizzes for a massive multiplayer world”. It also talks about using the engine’s extended features for AI systems as well as the new innovative accessibility features inside Xbox studios.

The team continues to work hard to achieve our vision and bring the magic of Everwild nature to players around the world.
Last December, journalist Jeff Grob claimed that the game was “a real mess.” At this point, we still know very little about it, and with a release date yet to be announced, Rare has had time to refine its ideas and concepts, as has been the case with sea of thieves. Let’s hope to hear some news about the title this year.
