A new Banjo Kazooie game is currently in active development, and the project was greenlit in early 2022, based on the latest rumor.
NateDrake, who is known for his Nintendo related leaks, took to enthusiast gaming forum Reset Era to share that the rumored new Banjo Kazooie title from Rare is still in active development.
However, Nate clarified that the project was only greenlit early last year in 2022.
Much of the developmental work has yet to be done and several aspects of the game can change.
The previous entry in Rare’s Banjo Kazooie series is 2008’s Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
Taking place eight years after Banjo-Tooie (2000), the game follows Banjo and Kazooie as they battle against the witch Gruntilda for control of their home.
Initially conceived as a remake of the original Banjo-Kazooie (1998), it evolved into a new game that targets a broader audience. »
