The game was reportedly shaping up to be a “third-person adventure with god game elements” last year. 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.

Mayles is Rare’s most senior creative lead and has been a key figure in the development of games like Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie, Viva Pinata, and Sea of Thieves. As of last year, for instance, Everwild was a third person adventure game with god game elements, and that Rare’s leadership had also mandated not having any combat in the game, leading to some design challenges.Īdditionally, following the departure of Woodroffe, Rare has also confirmed that Gregg Mayles has been brought in to take over the project.

Rare was part of the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase in a. When Everwild was first announced in late 2019, it was confirmed to be in pre-production with a small team even at that time, though even by that point, the game had been in the works in some capacity for quite some time.
