On the heels of Uncommon’s success with Sea of Thieves, the British studio introduced what can be its subsequent undertaking in November 2019. The sport’s identify is Everwild, and the preliminary reveal trailer was extra of a tone piece than something, displaying a picture-esque world of untamed animals and a few parts of magic.
Uncommon adopted up the 2019 reveal with one other trailer in 2020, which was about as cryptic, and didn’t provide strong particulars or a launch date. Since then, we’ve seen little or no from Everwild. The truth is, we’d go years with out its identify being talked about in any respect – not even a reminder that it’s alive.
2021 experiences urged that the undertaking had been rebooted internally, with Uncommon capturing for a 2024 launch. We’re just some brief days away from the top of 2024, after all, and we’re nonetheless not taking part in Everwild.
So what’s occurring? Nicely, we don’t have a solution to that query, both. The excellent news, nonetheless, is that Uncommon does at the least have one thing to share with followers, which you may take as a reminder that it continues to work on the mysterious recreation. Over on Twitter, Uncommon shared a holidays greeting card that includes a brand new picture from the sport. Within the accompanying publish, the developer acknowledged that it’s solely a picture, and wished everybody completely happy holidays.
“Hope you are closing the 12 months out in model and, as it is the day of advantageous presents and finer meals, here is our providing – a scrumptious png so that you can take pleasure in!” it reads. “Proper, we’re off to eat a Patagotitan’s hypothesised weight in sweets. ‘Til 2025!”
We may solely see this as an early tease for one thing to do with Everwild that can happen in 2025. Maybe the sport will lastly be launched, however 2025 can also simply as simply be the 12 months the sport is correctly revealed, with a launch date in 2026 or past.
Regardless, you may see from the replies that the tweet actually made lots of people completely happy to see Everwild talked about once more, even when it’s on the tail finish of 2024 with, frankly, not quite a lot of substance.
