40 years of @rare.co.uk.

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.

  1. Where’s Kuros? He must be taking the photo… but yeah, happy birthday guys! I still kinda like Battletoads better than the ‘real’ TMNT!

  2. Firstly: CONGRATS ON 40 YEARS, RARE!

    Second: I'm not the best with character recognition.

    Who is the Orc? Help an Orc-Lover out?

  6. One of the game companies I literally grew up with, I started with Donkey Kong country as a Toddler along with Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo Kazooie and Goldeneye. But now I'm an adult and Sea of Thieves is another favorite of Mine for bringing me loads of entertainment. Happy 40th anniversary rare!

  9. If I could make a wish....

    I wish you'll go back to Nintendo so you'll make more amazing games without being mistreated and closed by Xbox and Microsoft
