It's the beginning of another year and a lot of video game companies are obviously on the lookout for new talent to assist them with upcoming projects.
With this in mind, Rare - best known in recent times for its pirate-themed multiplayer game Sea of Thieves - is calling for a senior designer to come and help create its next big hit, Everwild.
Rare's Gregg Mayles even mentions how this sort of job opportunity "doesn't happen very often" at the studio - so submit something while you can, if you think you've got what it takes.
According to the job description, Everwild is a "groundbreaking" game the world does not yet have.
The senior designer will need to be "brimming with ideas", be able to draw "new maps" rather than follow old ones, be able to tackle challenges that may not have been encountered before and lead with an open mind.
Last year, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg said Everwild was "unlike any other game that's ever been made" and the game's executive producer, Louise O'Conner, previously said it would give players a "magical and untamed world to explore" - allowing them to feel how magic flows through nature and connects with every living thing.
The last update before this most recent job listing was in October 2020, when Rare revealed the game's creative director had left the studio. Are you excited to learn more about Everwild? Any idea what to expect? Share your thoughts below.

Still holding out for a new Viva Pinata!
This year due to the obvious is a year what is coming from all the big 3 not a year of what is here yet. Let’s hope things pick up soon, sort of getting bored of what is coming and then gets delayed. Let’s hope the second half of 2021 has some big guns from all three.
Sounds like this game is a LONG way out.
Think they revealed the game too early ala Nintendo with Metroid/Bayonetta.
Man this game is shrouded in mystery, No one knows what the hell it is..
My desire for this games dies a little more something like this is posted.
@mousieone I feel the same.
It's a shame because it's sad to dismiss new ideas and creativity but this all just seems pretty empty so far to me.
"Groundbreaking" "Unlike any other game thats ever been made". This sounds like cyberpunk level marketing hype and it worries me.
@roe yeah it does seem like an art project gone wrong. Plus, it’s hard for me to get excited because they don’t know what their games is; they don’t have any staff. It’s like huh !??
Like I know what Perfect Dark is supposed to be and that’s supposed to be the far away project that was hush hush until a couple month ago...
I just want Rare to go back to Nintendo. They were a great match. Whereas with Microsoft nothing clicks. Particularly feel sorry for them regarding the Kinect debacle. But fingers crossed they pull something out of the bag.
Even if this game end up released at the near end of 9th-gen era, i wouldn't be surprised. Considering how little info we got as now.
Prediction:
2021 - Halo Infinite
2022 - Hellblade 2
2023 - Everwild, Avowed
2024 - Perfect Dark, Fable
@Benjamin Sadly I think this will prove to be closer to the truth than many believe.
That said I can't keep up with Game Pass anyway, but it would be nice to have some first party AAA games come through.
