[Gerucht] Xbox is working on a new Banjo-Kazooie game

Beautiful rumor on the first day of the new year! Microsoft is said to be working on a new Banjo-Kazooie game!

Here's what insider Nate Hate said. In the past, this often contained valid information regarding unannounced games. According to him, Xbox began developing the game with Rare in 2022 and is still in the early stages. Additionally, the game will not be prioritized until after Everwild's release. The latter game is also in development at Rare and has been delayed several times in recent years. Additionally, the game is getting a full reboot in 2021.

This news does not come as a complete surprise. Xbox head Phil Spencer gave a shout out to the Banjo-Kazooie community in an interview with Windows Central last month. Phil then noted that he heard the fans and stated that he would like to return to the franchises to revisit the stories and characters. According to Spencer, the requirement for this is that one knows how to find the right team and the right opportunity. He also noted that he believes it is important to get the original developers involved if they want to revive an old franchise.

For now, we have to take this news with a grain of salt. But if we have more Banjo-Kazooie news for you, of course you'll read it with us!
