“Since showing the world our Eternals trailer, we have been making progress on all aspects of Everwild.

“Gregg Mayles joined us, late last year as Creative Director, and the team has never been stronger,” O’Connor said in the statement.

Everwild executive producer Louise O’Connor confirmed the appointment in a statement to VGC. Gregg Mayles - who has worked at Rare for more than three decades, and is the studio’s most senior employee on the creative side, according to VGC - has been tapped as creative director for the ongoing reboot, VGC reports. Xbox fans wondering why Rare’s Everwild didn’t show up at Sunday’s E3 showcase now have an answer: The studio has “completely rebooted” the open-world adventure game under a new creative director, and its release is multiple years away, reports Video Games Chronicle.Ĭiting sources with knowledge of Everwild’s development, VGC reports that Rare has undertaken “a complete overhaul of the game’s design and direction” following the departure last fall of its previous creative director, Simon Woodroffe.
