"Everwild, a project developed by Rare since 2014, has been cancelled amid layoffs across Microsoft's Xbox division, marking a significant setback in the gaming industry."
"The game's development faced challenges due to a lack of clear direction and enduring a 'restart from scratch' when Gregg Mayles took over direction."
Microsoft has cancelled Rare's Everwild project, which had been in development since around 2014. This decision comes amid layoffs across Microsoft's Xbox division, which reportedly involve Rare employees. Everwild was announced in 2019 but faced issues with a lack of clear direction, leading to a restart in 2021. Despite claims of progress just months ago, the cancellation illustrates the ongoing struggle within the gaming industry as developers lose jobs and resources are wasted on projects that never materialize.
