We already knew that the development of the Xbox-exclusive Everwild was not entirely flawless. For example, Microsoft itself already announced in October that the development was experiencing some challenges. However, Everwild’s development doesn’t seem to have the slightest difficulty, it’s actually a mess, VentureBeat journalist Jeff Grubb reports in his podcast.
Restarting or stopping development does not seem to be an option yet, but various developers at Rare apparently do not know very well what the plans and current status are around the game. Let’s hope Microsoft and Rare can fix the internal issues and release Everwild in the future.
“Everwild is a real mess. They try to talk diplomatically about it when they’re in public, like ‘people hear things about the creative director leaving and things getting rebooted and that’s overstated’ — it’s not that overstated. They’ve rebooted that thing and they don’t know exactly what the state of it… they are still figuring that out, and it’s a mess.”
“This is not me just using colourful descriptions — the people working on that game don’t really know what’s going on with that game. That’s how much of a mess it is right now.”
