Talking Point: Is 2025 The Year We See Everwild On Xbox?

Here at Pure Xbox HQ, we've begun theorising on what games might show up at a potential Xbox Developer Direct later this month. We know that the showcase hasn't even been formally announced yet - but it's still fun to speculate on what could make an appearance if Xbox continues its recent trend of January showcases.

We're starting to think that South of Midnight and DOOM: The Dark Ages would basically be lock-ins for the show if it happens, but what about the rest of the event? Could something like Rare's mysterious adventure Everwild finally make a proper reappearance later this month?

As you can see through the story up above, the Xbox studio closed out its 2024 with a fresh image from the game, and that has us hopeful that we might see this title reappear properly in 2025. Truth be told, we're still somewhat confused by what Everwild actually is as a video game - so we'd welcome Rare giving us a good old deep dive on it sometime soon.

As for whether the game would actually launch in 2025 if it's shown off at Dev Direct...who knows? Typically, Microsoft tries to give us an overview of titles planned for the year ahead at these events, but Avowed was featured last year and eventually got pushed out of 2024, so it feels like there's room for something like that to happen again. At this point we just want to see another trailer for the Xbox title!

Anyway, what do you think about this? Could Everwild realistically be shown off at Developer Direct '25? If so, do you think the game would actually make it out this year?
