Torrentgame – After a long, three-year silence, Rare has shared a new screenshot for its highly anticipated game, Everwild. Known for classics like Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, and more recently the pirate action adventure Sea of Thieves, Rare’s latest project, Everwild, has left fans eagerly waiting for updates. Despite reportedly working on the title since 2019, Rare has been unusually quiet about the game’s progress, leading to speculation about its future.
A Glimpse Into Everwild
In a festive surprise just before the holidays, Rare released a new screenshot of Everwild, offering fans a glimpse into the game’s enchanting world. The image, shared on Rare Ltd.’s X account, depicts a character and a deer-like creature gazing up at a glowing tree under an ethereal sky. The serene scene is framed by the character and animal with their backs to the viewer, evoking a sense of mystery and wonder. The post’s simple but heartwarming caption reads: “Happy Holidays From Rare.”
A Lighthearted Holiday Message
Accompanying the screenshot, Rare also shared a quirky holiday message:
“Happy holidays, whoever’s seeing this! Hope you’re closing the year out in style and, as it’s the day of fine gifts and finer food, here’s our offering – a delicious png for you to enjoy! Right, we’re off to eat a Patagotitan’s hypothesised weight in sweets. ‘Til 2025!”
The reference to the Patagotitan, a massive dinosaur from Patagonia, seems more like a fun, whimsical note rather than a direct clue about the game’s content. While the playful tone doesn’t reveal much about Everwild, it hints that Rare has been enjoying some holiday cheer while keeping the development of the game under wraps.
A Rough Start for Everwild
While it’s not uncommon for games to take a long time in development, Everwild’s early troubles raised some concern among fans. After its cinematic trailer in July 2020 wowed audiences with its stunning visuals and mysterious world, fans were eager to know more. However, the game’s development suffered a few setbacks: the lead creative director resigned in 2020, and in 2021, it was reported that the game had to be reworked entirely. After that, updates on the game’s progress halted, leaving fans to wonder if the title would ever be released.
However, a report in October 2024 revealed that Everwild was still alive and playable, even if not yet close to release. The holiday screenshot seems to reaffirm that the game is still in development, with the possibility of Rare providing more updates in 2025. It appears that Rare is ready to share more details in the coming year, but for now, fans will have to wait and speculate about the world of Everwild.
Conclusion
While Rare’s latest post doesn’t offer much in terms of new information, the beautiful screenshot and the lighthearted holiday message indicate that Everwild is still in the works. Fans can likely expect more details in the coming months as the game’s development progresses. Given Rare’s history of creating beloved franchises, Everwild remains a title worth watching in 2025.
