The couple's last appearance was in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Xbox has been buying studios throughout all these years, which has caused the conglomerate they have formed to gradually have all kinds of IPs and licenses of all kinds. However, this excessive growth has also meant that it is not possible to release games from all these franchises, which has caused that over time some like Banjo-Kazooie are forgotten.
In that sense, the hope of seeing something from Rare's iconic franchise again seems to be getting fainter every day, but the truth is that at the end of last year there was talk of a new Banjo-Kazooie game that could be released on Xbox Series, especially since with the purchase of Activision Blizzard there was Toys For Bob, a studio that has shown a great talent with 3D platformsIn fact, even with the independence of this study, it was still possible to see the couple's resurgence, but it seems that will not be the case.
Banjo-Kazooie hasn't had a new game since Potholes and Junks
Although it was said at the beginning of the year that this Banjo-Kazooie reboot had been restarted, now the news that reaches us is not so flattering, since Jez Corden, a well-known and reputable journalist with a great affinity for Xbox information, has spoken about it in the Xbox Two podcast where he has stated that There is no new Banjo-Kazooie game being made.
This comes as quite a surprise not only because it denies the rumors that have been circulating and that come from leakers such as NateTheHate, who also claimed that Microsoft gave the green light to the project at the beginning of 2022, but because Corden has highlighted itcategorically stating that such a game as such does not exist.
It should be noted that, despite the absence of new games, Banjo-Kazooie is back thanks to Nintendoas they were part of the expansion passes that the Japanese company launched for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In fact, their announcement was one of the best received in the fighting title. We will have to see if we see something new from this couple in the future.
