In recent weeks, art leaks have revealed evidence of several cancelled Xbox games, ranging from Perfect Dark to Zenimax Online Studios' cancelled MMO. Now, a new leak has revealed a few screenshots from Rare's now cancelled game, Everwild.
MP1st found the screenshots through the website of an unnamed artist who worked on the game. It shows a handful of in-game scenes, as well as UI elements like inventory menus and the graphics settings screen. Some of the collectable resources in this early development build were figments, mosaics, seeds and plants.
Apparently, the images come from a version of the game “relatively close” to its cancellation. It is clear that a plan for the game was taking shape prior to the cancellation, but it was still very early on.
At this point, Everwild will no longer be coming out. Rare was one of a number of studios to be hit by layoffs at Microsoft this year, although a small portion of the Everwild team is now working on Sea of Thieves instead. At this time, it is unclear what we can expect out of Rare beyond continued updates for Sea of Thieves.

KitGuru Says: Previous reports have claimed that Everwild went through many stops and starts after being announced in 2019. Based on these screenshots, it would have been a survival / crafting game of sorts.
