Check out the Awesome Sea of Thieves skeleton concept art which Rare shared with fans on twitter today.
A game that had been thought cancelled or at the very least in development hell, Rare’s Everwild has resurfaced of late – first through comments last week on Jez Corden & Rand Al Thor’s Xbox Two podcast that it was finally “progressing well”. We’ve now had confirmation from Phil Spencer himself that Everwild is indeed still in active development, and is in a playable state.
What you blabbering on about now? What “crow”?
I swear you over exaggerate or make stuff up to gain some kind of “win”.
Every time an Xbox first party studio announce a new game and the said team went silent and focused on development, FUD bs starts to popup on the internet. " Oh...RARE is in development hell".

When the original director left, many people here gone full doom and gloom for this game.
“It's a mess”, sources say this Xbox game is in serious development problems"

They were spreading this lying BS just one month before we got this:

So give me a break and spare me from your hypocrisy.
And you’re surprised?
Seriously you’re bitching about people being skeptical when history has not really been in their favour
Phill played Crackdown 3, Redfall and Halo Infinite before it got a delay, when the game was dead set on its original release date YET they ended up being either bad or average.
It’s not anyone’s fault the thought process on these things is steeped in skepticism, Microsoft has brought that on themselves…yet you wouldn’t know that because you give them a pass for everything while spinning anything bad into a good thing. If people like yourself called them out from the start then maybe things could have been different.
"Seriously you’re bitching about people being skeptical when history has not really been in their favour"
Yeah... I remember YOU bitching about RARE´s Sea of Thieves and look at the irony now! That´s their history!
Been skeptical has nothing to do with been negative and straight up toxic! If you think you´re entitled to talk sh!t and trash something today, don´t go ape sh!t when people call you out on your bs tomorrow!
"If people like yourself called them out from the start then maybe things could have been different."
You´re delusional. You still think those companies give a F* about what we think or want? After everything we have witnessed in these four years? You got be kidding!
Phil wouldn't know what a good game is if it sat on his face.
Showcase or Xbox direct 2025? NGL MS has been revealing better lookin games since Everwild. They shouldn't of announced the game so early (5 years prior)
Either way I'll keep an eye on this game as I'm. More curious than anything.
"Showcase or Xbox direct 2025? NGL MS has been revealing better lookin games since Everwild. They shouldn't of announced the game so early (5 years prior)"
Early game announcements by studios aren´t meant only to entice and attract gamers and gaming media´s interest in a game, but also and mainly aimed at new developers that might want to join their ranks.
It´s an industry standard.
5 years is a bit much. At that point it's only a concept. Yes it's a bit much when anyone does it.

"5 years is a bit much. At that point it's only a concept. Yes it's a bit much when anyone does it."
It´s not that simple. Like I said, it´s an industry standard for a reason.
To get a game announced in early stages of development takes strategy and methodical evaluation for people in high places, since it costs a lot of money, manpower, time and resources.
For instance, didn´t Sony just announced a new *next gen* espionage-action game by Kojima Productions?
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Kojima´s Death Stranding 2 doesn´t even have a release date, he and his team still got O.D to release on Xbox next, and his new next gen game had already been announced even without a project name.
And you think 5 years is a bit much?
How long do you think it´s gonna take to have that espionage-action by out? What´s your thoughts about it?
Let´s hear
Didn´t Sony announce a new action-espionage game
I knew you would go there so I answered your question in my first response. It's too early when anyone does it. Sony was name dropping kojima to get ahead of xbox's OD announcement, so I kind of get that one... but I just don't like announcements before 3 years from release.
Idk every time I hear news of Phil goes and plays a game it never turns out good lol.
Crackdown, redfall etc lol.
This is like the madden curse. When ever a team is put on the cover they do bad. Example look at 49ers this year lol.
If this game does bad the Phil curse is real lol
"Idk every time I hear news of Phil goes and plays a game it never turns out good lol.
Crackdown, redfall etc lol."
Perfect Dark
Perfect dark isn’t out yet.
So if there was news about him playing it and enjoying it then it could be cursed to lol.
@pwnmaster3000
"Perfect dark isn’t out yet."
Doesn´t matter. It looks awesome and people are hyped.
"So if there was news about him playing it and enjoying it then it could be cursed to lol."
Right. According to you, Perfect Dark is cursed. Noted!

Dude chill. Why so sensitive. Its a light hearted comment.
Why so uptight?
Did I offend daddy Phil?
Welcome to Xbox.
Where no one there seems to know what they're doing.
Merrrrrinnnnnn !!!!!
Sea of Thieves, the pirate-themed game from Rare, has reportedly surpassed one million copies sold on the PS5 per a new report.
Yea, we’ll be seeing plenty more Xbox exclusives head to PlayStation..
Just like sony tossing horizon on the switch xbox also sees the potential to double dip for sure.
I do not see xbox past next gen i think in the 2030's xbox will be just a publishing company if not next gen if you look at there console sales it would make sense to also not toss a console out next gen and just focus on software as they are making way more cash on software than hardware.
Now halo on the switch/ps5 hmmm
Horizon the switch?
Are you talking about the Lego horizon game lol.
Totally different situation.
@pwnmaster3000
Right because sony?
please enlighten us on how sony giving out there best recent ip to another platform is different then xbox putting there ip on other platforms.
Yeah it'd be crazy not to release horizon Lego on the switch those Lego games sell gangbusters on switch
Xbox have been on the decline, Sony can comfortably run their businesses without relying on other systems for revenue. That's the difference.
@DodoDojo
So there huge push to go multi-plat had nothing to do with there failing revenue?
Look at the spike after they tossed there ip's around and the pc sales of there games
https://companiesmarketcap....
Even sony knows were the cash is
@Profchaos
Oh for sure they spent $0 on making the game but will get some great check's in the mail that game is going to sell so well on that platform then they will toss it on switch 2 and or consoles got to have that double dip.
Herp derp , maybe if it was actually horizon and not a lego game you might have a point but alas.
There’s no way Lego would make a game for them using one of their IPs and keep it exclusive
It was probably we either release it on the Switch or we don’t do it
If they did a Horizon spin off game for Switch with one of their own first party studios then fair enough, but it’s not. It’s Lego.
Because it’s a Lego game and not actually one of the main game in the series. Compare to what MS is doing, it’s vastly different.
Now are they going to start releasing games to other platform. Maybe, but to the extent like MS. Who knows, but as of right now, comparing that move to what MS is doing is reaching so much.
Man we have games skipping Xbox because the sales numbers aren't worth the time and the difficulties of dealing with the Series S, why in the world would Sony release their games on Xbox?
That first sentence is a horrible argument. Makes no sense and feels like an attempt to shove Sony into this conversation at all.
I think Xbox will try their best to keep hardware around, but it won't be like it is now. I think they'll go all digital and go with a middle-line hardware and not a heavy pusher like the Series X. Something that will play games slightly better than Series X but will have a lot of built-in storage space.They'll, if possible, eat as much of that cost as possible to come under the PS6 in price by as much as possible, but the PS6 will, IMHO, be more powerful, because Sony relies on hardware to maintain their market and will keep it like that until there is no other option.
@just_lookin
You are trying too hard to make it seem like both are doing the same thing. They are not. No buts or ifs about it.
On this topic:
I never played SOT, but its interesting that this game started off as a flop and built up to a relatively successful gaas game.
This site is nuts
So sony tosses there games on pc gives out there ip to other companies for other platform's something they never have done in the past a ip only ps4 had in the past that is normal 0 issues.
Xbox tosses there game on a ps device we must stop the press flip the couch and go on about xbox for weeks.
Man trump needs to hire everyone here for his campaign/trials you all get him back in that chair asap.
If Microsoft wants Gamepass to succeed they need to keep putting out Xbox's. Otherwise they only other place you will see Gamepass is on PC'S, TV'S and Amazon Prime Sticks
I see what PlayStation players are doing with the long con of buying “Xbox exclusive games “ by over a million in less than 4 months to incentivize Microsoft to put all their games on day one on PlayStation and kill the Xbox console. 🤣
.
BTW
It’s a JOKE. don’t take personally obscured orchard crew
Where they'll feel better with DualSense, load faster with the better SSD, and be accessible to more than 2x the console playerbase.
At least Hellblade 2 may come to a platform with a controller that can give its immersion the full respect it deserves. World-class tech for audio and visuals but stuck on an input that's been static since 2005...
https://store.steampowered....
Hellblade 2 is on steam you know a computer were you can use any controller and have great audio.
Are you saying that the ps5 is the only console or device that has ever seen sound past stereo?
A ps5 is the only device to have a fast nvme ssd?
Input sense 2005? umm haptic tech has been around sense 1976
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
There is nothing a ds5 does that has not been done before somewere else even price gouging that was apple but now sony does that and crappy battery life man i miss ds3 battery life.
You're pathetic and weird, stop with your strawman arguments and need to be antagonistic about everything.
I own the game on Steam and play it with DualSense on there but the features of DualSense are best on PS5 natively. I'm not saying that to refer to the controller speaker only, but the haptics especially *and* having those enhanced haptics wirelessly.
"Yea, we’ll be seeing plenty more Xbox exclusives head to PlayStation.."
Indeed. And sell even more.
Makes sense. The game sold 5 million copies on Steam and had 30 million players in 2022. So it does have a hook; what it needed to sell on PS was essentially just to be available there.
For those not pissed off i mentioned cross play i looked it up and it does have it
https://www.seaofthieves.co...
So people playing for a long time on xbox/pc can join up with people that only have a ps5 that is a nice feature witch again helps with sales.
It's also cross progression. When it first released in 2018. I bought my self the limited edition controller that came with a code for some unique clothing. I didn't like the game back in 2018 it was bland and empty. When I bought it during a sale on Steam in 2021 I was able to continue on where I left off in 2018 with the things I unlocked as well as my dlc outfit.
Forward to 2024 when I got it on ps5. I again could continue on from pc and still access my Xbox dlc from 2018 and I then got a exclusive playstation sail set.
@ocelot07
That is cool what a great/rare feature to bad all games do not have that.
So no wonder it is selling well if a 2018 player can grab it on his/her ps5 then continue were you left off.
Honestly less than I would've expected based on the buzz around release, but still a great milestone.
Rare, the developer behind pirate adventure Sea of Thieves, has introduced a dedicated dog park to its studio grounds for employees' good boys and girls.
Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.
Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"
Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.
Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.
I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.
so hyped to see more of this at e3
