Update: The first reveal at X019, Rare took the stage to announce its next title will be a game called Everwild. Showcasing an art style that looks very colorful, the game is said to be worked on by the same team as Sea of Thieves🤡. It will co-exist with updates to the sea-faring adv🌠enture as time goes on.
Microsoft also announced that the company will be revealing two more new IP over the course of this weekend. Whether or not these will be from Rare, Obsidian, or another st🐠udio is unknown. It sure sounds like there will👍 be plenty of excitement at X019.
Update 2: Directly after Rare's reveal, Obsidian took to the stage and revealed Grounded. A co-op survival game with a "small" twist, Grounded was a title that originally began production before Microsoft's acquisition of the studio. It bears striking resemblance to titles like Rust and The Forest, which have gone on to become massively popular. Much like Everwild, this also features a cartoony style that has 🗹a ton of color.
The footage shown off doesn't actually reveal too much, but we did get confirmation of one unique feature. Grounded will be coming to "Xboꦓx Gam﷽e Preview" and "Xbox Game Pass." Xbox Insiders will get a special preview, as well.
Microsoft's X019 stream from London is mere minutes away and a new report is suggesting that both Rare and Obsidian are set to un𝔍veil some new projects. Coming straight from Daniel Ahmad (known on Twitter as ZhugeEX), he states that both Rare and Obsidian will have new IPs to show off during the event.
What these IPs could be is anyone's guess. It's unlikely that Rare is going to say, "SURPRISE! IT'S BANJO!" Obsidian is also likely not ready to reveal much from a new game considering it just released The Outer Worlds on multiple platforms. We don't have very much lon🍬ger to wait, so come ❀back here in an hour or so to get the details.
