Microsoft axed another video game during their massive worker cuts. Rare studio lost their secret project called Everwild after working on it for ten years. The company killed the game as part of firing 9,000 people across different departments. Gaming chief Phil Spencer had praised the project just months before its death. Players will never see what could have been an amazing adventure.
Everwild faced serious problems during its long development cycle. Rare announced the game back in 2019 but never explained what players would actually do. Reports called the project a complete disaster behind closed doors. The studio created beautiful trailers that excited fans but had no clear game plan. Nobody at Rare could decide what type of experience they wanted to build.
The cancellation hurts because Rare makes incredible games that players love. The legendary studio built a reputation for creative and fun experiences over many decades. Talented developers at Rare will lose their jobs as Microsoft cuts costs. The company continues revealing more details about which workers face unemployment. Gaming fans lose another promising project due to corporate money decisions.
