Jeff Grubb: Everwild got rebooted after its creative director left last year, now scheduled to 2023 but could slip to 2024 Rumor
He talked about this yesterday in his podcast and today he mentioned again( Around 26:30 if it doesn't work), where he said that he confirmed with more people that this is the case. ~transcription~ Question: Hey guys, do you think we will see Everwild during E3? Grubb: No, so...I mean, it got...

It's a different article / source. This goes much more deeper than Grubb's.
Sad news but Gregg Mayles leading the project gives me a lot of hope.
Also seems like the Everwild was small (until the reboot at least) ?

Please be a traditional single player game in some ways. I know Rare is the "service games" team now, but I really would like it to have a campaign. I'm totally fine with it having live elements, but I really miss SP Rare games. They have a charm to them and I'm more of an SP guy.

Sucks but let them take as long as necessary, part of having so much studios is not having to rush.
Just like Sony does with their teams, give them time and freedom.

You're right. I updated the thread title.
Honestly, I think this all very positive. Microsoft has all the first-party titles they need, so if something isn't working, they have the time to fix them and let other games do the heavy lifting.
GameDev is a hard business. I hope the finished product isn't too radical a shift from the original reveal/vision for the game.
I'm slightly disappointed that Gregg Mayles isn't working on a secret new project, but this is great news for Everwild.
There has only been one previous creative director on Everwild.
Mike Chapman was promoted to creative director on Sea of Thieves in 2019. This led to speculation about Gregg Mayles' role on SoT and at the studio.
Sea of Thieves is getting a story campaign next week with the Pirates of the Caribbean crossover.
While it's disappointing to hear it's pretty far away, having Gregg Mayles as the creative director is fantastic news.
Nope. Simon Woodroffe then Louise O'Connor. Now Gregg Mayles?

Edit: I stand corrected. I suppose this line was throwing me off.

I would be so very happy with that. I hope it's exactly what they're doing.
I'm not at all bothered by the 2024 (or even 2025) release, I'm sure it'll be great when it comes.
It sucks. I hope the vision of "protecting the world, animals" stays in tho. That to me felt something unique.
Greg Mayles taking over is good overall. Guess we can forgot about the game for abit and will see it when we see it.
Also because of the many games Xbox has now. It probably got the time and space to do this. Wich is good to see.

Killer Instinct and Battletoads weren't Rare right?
Outsourced?

Louise O'Connor is still at Rare on the Everwild team. Louise O'Connor is Executive Producer. Simon Woodroofe was the Creative Director.
Louise O'Connor is an executive producer and she is still in the team. She is the one quoted on the article.
Is that insider information? Because he isn't the lead of anything in Sea of Thieves since 2019, that's public information.
Louise O'Connor was the Executive Producer from the start and remains in that role as far as we know.
It's story content. I would imagine it's designed the same way as the previous tall tales, but we're gonna have to wait and see.
