Selon le rapport d’Andy Robinson paru dans Video Game Chronicle (VGC), des sources proches du projet ont inform\u00e9 les membres de l’\u00e9quipe que Everwild, un jeu en d\u00e9veloppement depuis plus de dix ans, a \u00e9t\u00e9 annul\u00e9. Cette annonce intervient alors qu’ont lieu de importantes r\u00e9ductions d’effectifs chez Microsoft et Xbox, officiellement annonc\u00e9es le mercredi dernier. Les m\u00eames sources ont confi\u00e9 \u00e0 VGC que ces employ\u00e9s risquent probablement de perdre leur emploi dans le cadre d’une vaste restructuration chez Rare, le studio ayant con\u00e7u Sea of Thieves. Le concept d’Everwild a \u00e9t\u00e9 enti\u00e8rement repens\u00e9 en 2021, avec la nomination de Gregg Mayles, v\u00e9t\u00e9ran de la conception, pour prendre la t\u00eate du projet. Mayles est l’un des concepteurs les plus exp\u00e9riment\u00e9s de Rare, \u00e0 qui l’on doit notamment Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie, Viva Pi\u00f1ata et Sea of Thieves. M\u00eame en comptant sa phase de prototypage, Everwild \u00e9tait en d\u00e9veloppement depuis plus de dix ans. Des d\u00e9veloppeurs anonymes ont indiqu\u00e9 qu’ils avaient eu du mal \u00e0 d\u00e9finir une direction claire pour le jeu, m\u00eame apr\u00e8s un r\u00e9cent red\u00e9marrage du projet. Rare a annonc\u00e9 Everwild pour la premi\u00e8re fois en novembre 2019 et a publi\u00e9 une nouvelle bande-annonce en juillet 2020. Depuis lors, les mises \u00e0 jour sur le jeu ont \u00e9t\u00e9 rares, hormis l’insistance de Phil Spencer, patron des Xbox Game Studios, selon laquelle des progr\u00e8s \u00e9taient r\u00e9alis\u00e9s sur le titre plus t\u00f4t cette ann\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Fond\u00e9e en 1985, Rare est l’un des d\u00e9veloppeurs de jeux les plus connus au Royaume-Uni, notamment pour Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country, GoldenEye 007 et Banjo-Kazooie. Microsoft a acquis Rare en 2002, depuis lors le studio a sorti des titres tels que Kameo, Viva Pi\u00f1ata, Kinect Sports et Sea of Thieves pour Xbox. Plus tard, Matt Booty, qui \u00e9tait alors directeur de Xbox Game Studios, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que l’\u00e9quipe Everwild chez Rare voulait s’assurer que le jeu \u00e9tait vraiment sp\u00e9cial avant de le montrer au public \u00e0 nouveau. Pour ceux cherchant \u00e0 approfondir les implications de l’annulation d’Everwild et la restructuration au sein des studios Rare, l’article \u00ab\u00a0Everwild annul\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb de Sophie Laurent est une lecture incontournable (publi\u00e9 le 2 juillet 2025). Cet article offre un aper\u00e7u complet des r\u00e9cents licenciements et leur lien avec la strat\u00e9gie globale de Microsoft Gaming. Sophie fournit un contexte sur le parcours de d\u00e9veloppement d’Everwild depuis son annonce initiale en 2019 et explore les incertitudes entourant les prochains projets de Rare.
