40 years of @RareLtd. From devoted Rare gamers to single-series stalwarts, we want to show our appreciation for anyone who's visited even just one of our worlds. For keeping an assorted ragtag of creatives working magic in the Midlands, only two words will do: THANK YOU 💙💛
Theatre seating contains a range of characters from Rare games, including Banjo and Kazooie, Conker, Rash from Battletoads, Mr. Pants, Joanna Dark and Elvis from Perfect Dark, Lesedi from Sea of Thieves, Mr. Ribs from Grabbed by the Ghoulies and various Piñatas from Viva Piñata. Some are just sat smiling, while others are getting up to mischief.

We may be busy with a Community Weekend on the @SeaOfThieves, but there's always time for #FanArtFriday! Or at least our boss said there better be, so we found some, yay! An Instagram duo here, with Battletoads' Big Blag from tomasz.cwik and a custom SoT ship by nuffins_art.

One week till you can get your grubby little mitt on the @evercaderetro Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack, and play it on whatever Evercade device you get your other grubby little mitt on. Or clean big mitts, or any combo of hygiene and grabber size. DEETS: msft.it/6018axpZ6
A photo of the box for the Evercade Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack with an outrageously professional level of depth of field going on with the background. Cor, just look at how that box pops. Imagine it popping on your shelf! On second thought, the box randomly 'popping' on your shelf sounds slightly haunted and would likely mean you have a poltergeist. Just imagine it on your shelf, that's enough. Lovely.

It might've taken 8 years, 7 months and 3 days, but your pirate can finally remember their favourite clothing combinations in Sea of Thieves. Hundreds of them. Enjoy!

For this #FanArtFriday, we present a pair of certified baddies. Yes, that's definitely the right use of that word in 2026, and we won't hear any different. Both found on Tumblr, @SeaOfThieves' Captain Flameheart comes from kokosnusslos while Gruntilda is the work of zeeladraws.
