Jeff Grubb shared some insight on the Xbo圎ra podcast, saying that "Everwild is a real mess." He continues, claiming that "the people working on that game don’t really know what’s going on with that game." This has been a fear for fans since both of the game's trailers were animated, none of which revealed gameplay or gave hints towards its mechanics.

In a Kinda Funny interview with Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty, he claims that the team at Rare is "just trying to make sure that they’ve got something special. The team is now targetting a 2024 release, which means we won't see the game for years. Video Games Chronicle reports that Everwild has been completely rebooted.
This doesn't mean much as far as development time goes, so it's not the best way to determine how much longer before the game launches. This likely solidifies that the game isn't launching in 2021.Ĭhris Dring from spoke of Everwild's release date during a VGC Off The Record podcast, claiming that the game is "so far away."
