It’s crazy to think that Everwild, Rare’s next game, was announced in 2019, especially since development has been ongoing since 2014. While there haven’t been any new announcements or details, the company is still hiring for the project.
On its Careers page, three listings are available for Engine Programmer, Video Producer, and Video and Motion Graphics Artist. While the positions are for both Sea of Thieves and Everwild, it’s interesting to note the latter two positions. They’ll be part of an “in-studio video team” to produce “quality video content to support our online platforms and promote the latest games from Rare.”
That includes working with Marketing and Community teams to create “ongoing video content for Sea of Thieves as well as Rare’s next title, Everwild.” It does imply the studio is gearing up to showcase more of the game regularly, if not reveal a new trailer.
Everwild doesn’t have a release date and was rumored to feature “large scale multiplayer world” based on a gameplay engineer Jordan Bell’s LinkedIn profile from March 2022. However, VGC’s Andy Robinson reports that it’s more like Viva Pinata rather than a survival game like earlier reveals teased. As always, stay tuned for more details.
