Everwild is the new IP address from developer Sea of Thieves Rare that promises to give us our dose of magic and nature. Revealed during XO19, we don't know much about what exactly Everwild will involve, as Rare has kept a pretty strict light on the details of their new game ever since the reveal. So far, we can only proceed from what we've seen in the two trailers that have been released, which seem to paint a pretty good picture of what the mystical world of Everwild has in store for us. Everwild seems to take place in a mystical world, teeming with peculiar creatures, where nature and humans coexist in harmony. Rare calls the relationship between the player and these creatures "symbiotic". But what the game or story will involve remains a mystery. Also, while we know Everwild will be an Xbox exclusive, coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC, we still don't know when we'll get our hands on it yet. Do you want to know more? So read on for everything we know so far about Everwild.

Everwild News and rumors
Director's CommentarySpeaking in the director's commentary video for the Everwild Eternals trailer, Rare executive producer Louise O'Connor and art director Ryan Stevenson shed some more light on what's to come in Everwild. In the video, it was explained that the player characters are called Eternals, who seem to have a dedicated creature that stays by their side. Stevenson also pointed out that the moments we see in the "Connection" trailer between the Eternals and the Animals are key to Everwild. Stevenson explained that the relationship between the Eternals and the bird-like creature that comes down and takes bread from one of them is "symbiotic", which seems to be one of the main themes of Everwild: the relationship between nature and humans. In some cases, such as with the creature that felled the trees, it seems that the Eternals can use this symbiotic relationship to get the creatures to help them. While we still don't know exactly what Everwild is, it seems that the Eternals serve as "protectors" of nature in some way. In the trailer for Eternals, we see eternal markings around a tree in an attempt to protect it from a "swarm of bugs" slowly traversing the world and feeding. It's unclear if this will be a key aspect of the story, but it does imply that Everwild will make us fight to protect nature, at least in part.
