UPDATE : Playtonic Games has select to Twitter to publish an prescribed affirmation debunking the rumor . woefully , while the team would be thrilled to ferment on a newBanjo - Kazooiegame , the studio apartment presently is not work on the project .

Microsoft could be eyeing up the developer ofYooka - Layleeas the future developer ofBanjo - Kazooie , if late diligence rumblings   are correct . Gamers have long been clamour for the return of Rare ’s bear and snort distich , so much so thatNintendo even license the Microsoft - owned character to include inSmash Bros. Ultimate . give that , many have been waitress on some sort of announcement on the franchise ’s issue – all to no avail thus far .

The straightaway effect with aBanjo - Kazooiereturn stem from the lack of usable studios under the Xbox Game Studios streamer . That ’s not to say that there are n’t a number of high-pitched - quality devs capable of doing the torpid series justice , but they all have their own projects on the go . Heck , even Banjo and Kazooie ’s flagship studio , Rare Ltd. , is preoccupy withSea of Thievesand its next game for Xbox ’s Project Scarlett . Still , it ’s potential that Microsoft has figured out a solution if late rumbling are correct .

If recent diligence rumblings are right , Playtonic Games may have been sacrifice the nod to spearhead a brand - newBanj0 - Kazooietitle . New evidence has been pile up onResetEraby a user known as Mazi , and it shows a range of smoking throttle indicating just such a conjectural spate . It all started after news offend ofBanjo - KazooieandYooka - Layleedesigner Ed Bryan joining the Playtonic Games squad before he then tweeted an image of a Microsoft - stigmatize pocketbook with the caption " Well , I never really had any plans to expend this again . "

This was forthwith flagged as mistrustful by fans , even despite Bryan afterward attempt to calm down the crowd bytweetingthat he simply needed the travelling bag for his new job . Of course , he was n’t the only one that has been suggest at something big . The Colorado - proprietor , studio and secret plan director at Playtonic Games ,   Gavin Price , update hisLinkedInprofile to hint at a few new on-going projects at the troupe .

instead , Rare and Microsoft may think that the studio apartment is a well partner for them to relaunch theBanjo - Kazooieseries with . It does n’t hurt that a majority of the employee and founding father at Playtonic are former Rare staffer that helped work on the originalBanjotitles . Really , there   is no better fit for the serial . Plus , Microsoft is n’t opposed to partnering with outside studio to work with Rare attribute , as it has already done so withKiller Instinctand is presently collaborating on anewBattletoads .

Notably , Microsoft ’s big X019 event is set to kick off on November 14th in London , which means that the United Kingdom - based Playtonic and Rare could both show up with news of a newBanjo - Kazooietitle . Perhaps that ’s just wishful thought process , but time will certainly tell if there ’s indeed firing   amongst all of this smoke . Now , here ’s hoping that the nextBanjo - Kazooiewill also occur to Nintendo Switchif this is all true .
