Leaked Screenshots Offer First Look at Rare’s Canceled Everwild

An artist’s portfolio reveals a nature‑first, combat‑free direction previously unseen before the project was cancelled.

Overview

  • Images surfaced via an artist who worked on the project, first highlighted by MP1st, with outlets noting the screenshots have not been officially verified.
  • The inventory UI shows tabs for Favourites, Figments, Tools, Mosaics, Seeds, and Plants, with Figments depicted as small plant‑like creatures.
  • Additional shots include a settings menu with options such as field of view, blur, and screen shake, plus in‑game scenes of a stone circle, temple‑like ruins, and foggy woodland.
  • MP1st reports the artist indicated Rare drew on Sea of Thieves player data to inform Everwild’s settings design choices.
  • Microsoft confirmed Everwild’s cancellation in July during large layoffs, and VGC reports veteran designer Gregg Mayles is set to leave Rare, with some staff reportedly moving to Sea of Thieves.
