Rare has published the first new Everwild art in nearly three years, suggesting it could potentially ramp up pre-release marketing for the game in 2025.
Rareannounced the new IPin November 2019and released anothertrailer in July 2020, but updates on the game since thenhave been rare.
However, fans finally got another glimpse of the game this week, via Rare’s Instagram Christmas card, which features festive-themedEverwildart.

In 2021, VGC sources with knowledge of Everwild’s development claimed the game’s design had essentially been“restarted from scratch”, meaning it would likely be several years before it’s released.
At the time, VGC’s sources claimed Everwild’s development team was “optimistically” targeting a 2024 release for the game, which would mark a decade of development for Everwild, which spent many years in experimental prototyping (obviously, this target date has since slipped).
In response to an advance copy of our story, Everwild’s executive producerLouise O’Connorconfirmed elements of the report, including the appointment of designerGregg Maylesas its new creative director.
Xbox’s then-Game Studios bossMatt Bootylater said Rare’s Everwild teamwanted to make sure it had “something special” before showing the game publicly again.
