[embedded content] While Xbox revealed a lot of new games at its E3 show, at least one formerly revealed exclusive was absent with no explanation: Everwild, Rare’s beautiful fantasy title. Well, that wasn’t an oversight, says a new report. Everwild wasn’t at the show because it’s undergoing a behind-the-scenes refresh. And because of this, we’re not going to see the game until 2024 at the earliest. The report comes from VGC, which alleges that, at some point between now and when the game was revealed in 2019, the game’s development

by Jason Parker in Call of Duty | Apr, 14th 2021 What’s all this business about the Activision Warzone lawsuit, anyway?
