Everwild

Everwild was a canceled action game designed with a cel-shaded visual style, showcasing a lush, stylized wilderness populated by fantastical creatures. The game's trailers hinted at a mystical, nature-driven experience, focusing on themes of connection with the environment, rituals, and interactions with mythical animals. Scenes from the trailer included players performing rituals and reviving creatures, underscoring a spiritual connection between characters and the natural world.

The exact gameplay structure of Everwild remained unclear during its development cycle. Early descriptions positioned the game as a third-person action title with potential elements derived from God games, where players might influence the environment or ecosystems indirectly. Later reports suggested the game was shifting away from conventional action mechanics, possibly featuring no combat, with gameplay leaning toward non-violent exploration and interaction.

According to industry sources, internal development at Rare had repositioned Everwild to resemble a Viva Piñata-style experience rather than the survival game some early marketing implied. This suggested a gameplay focus on nurturing environments, interacting with wildlife, and possibly creative or ecosystem-building elements.

The game was officially announced on 14th November 2019 during the X019 presentation, but developed had already started in 2014. The ambiguous direction and evolving gameplay concepts led to limited public updates and, eventually, the project's cancellation on 2nd July 2025.
