Rare’s Everwild reportedly cancelled amid Microsoft layoffs

Today, Microsoft initiated job cuts across the company, affecting even its Xbox department. Consequently, it seems that Everwild, the highly anticipated sequel to Sea of Thieves by Rare, may have been scrapped.

This morning, reports suggesting that Everwild has been cancelled originated from VGC’s sources. Furthermore, it is anticipated that a number of Rare employees will be let go this week.

Everwild, initially unveiled approximately six years back, has had its most recent trailer premiered in 2020. Following this, rumors surfaced about the game’s rocky production history, and whispers indicate that the project underwent a stealthy reboot a few years prior.

The termination of Everwild is linked to a broader impact following Microsoft’s decision to let go of numerous employees, and there are rumors suggesting that a Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game in progression by ZeniMax may have been scrapped as well.
