Everwild, the gorgeous but mysterious Rare title first announced back in 2019, has been canceled amid the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:mass layoffs 🅘happening today at Xbox. Rare ♛has not yet confirmed the news, but three separate reports now suggest that the game is, indeed, dead.

News of Everwild's cancellation was first reported by , which mentioned that "employees are likely to lose their jobs as part of broader restructuring" at the studio. 's sources have also corroborated that the game is c♎anceled, as has , who first reported on today's Xbox layoffs.

We'd seen a handful of trailers for Everwild, which offered promises of a big adventure through a strange world filled with unusual animals. The exact details of the gameplay were never clear, but the almost Studio Ghibli-like vibes were enough to catch plenty of attention. Earlier this year, Xbox ﷽boss Phil Spencer said that the game was still making "progress."

Reports circulated that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Everwild'🐻s development had been rebooted in 2021, though Xbox represent💝atives sugꦉgested those reports were "a little more extreme" than the truth. 💛However, those same reports alleged that Everwild had been in some form of development since 2014, and a game rarely spends that long in development without🎉 some sort of trouble behind the scenes.

What the cancellation and the looming layof🏅fs mean for the future of Rare remains to be seen. The studio has a storied history going back to the British computer scene of the '80s, and was a prolific NES developer in its early days. It developed a close partnership with Nintendo throughout the '90s, during which it created the beಞloved Donkey Kong Country trilogy for the SNES, as well as titles such as GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, and Perfect Dark for the N64.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's acquisition of Rare in the 🥂early '00s shocked the gaming world at the time, and while many of the studio's games under Xbox were quite good - I'll defend Viva Pinata and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts forever - they never made quite the same impact ꦬas the earlier Nintendo titles.

After years supporting Xbox's ill-fated Kinect peripheral, Rare seemed to finally find its footing with Sea of Thieves, which, while it took some time to really find its footing, proved to be an excellent multiplayer sandbox. Everwild ⛦had the potential to be a strong follow-up, but I guess now we'll never know.

I expect we'll lose a few more 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games before the day is out.
