Toys For Bob studio head Paul Yan in an interview with YouTube content creator Canadian Guy Eh said he wants to work on a new entry in the Banjo-Kazooie series.
"There's so many, and that's one of the exciting possibilities of being independent," said Yan when asked what IPs he would want the studio to work on.
"One company we'd like to work with is one we're already working with - Team Xbox. They've been a great partner, and they also have a very interesting roster of characters that Toys for Bob could have a lot of fun with. The honey bear is the first one that comes to mind. I think we all can agree Banjo’s been hibernating long enough, right?"
The Nintendo 64 games Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie are available on the Nintendo 64 app on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

The fact this wasn't green lit the second MS originally acquired Activision. Now they're independent I'm still very keen on it. I'd actually trust them on a sequel more than Rare. But We can start with a simple Remake first :)
A new Banjo-Kazooie entry sounds like a bigger challenge than anything Toys For Bob have done with a 3D platformer before, and I respect their work. Huge undertaking.
Will be interesting to see what Playtonic do with Yooka-Replaylee after their first attempt at that kind of game with Yooka-Laylee narrowly missed the mark.
They are currently working on a game for Act/Xbox like Spyro or Cash
This would be a dream come true, Banjo Threeie!
im in! 1 and 2 remaster followed with a new game
Another remaster building on the xbox remaster?
yes, 1 and 2 combined remaster
What would you like to see?
They already did a pretty good job with the current Xbox versions.
Rare wanted to make a Banjo 1 remaster with a twist, during the first stage Banjo and Kaz would become ware that they have done this before and they would embark on a whole different adventure.....but they end up not doing it because of all the other games they were working on...
Thanks! I wasn’t aware of the Banjo X concept.
I can only wonder what issues they faced which might have caused them to shift to developing Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
I kinda want the story behind those down votes in case something interesting about that development history was left unsaid.
Mostly from people who hated Nuts & Bolts.
I would pay almost any amount of money for this game.
This scenario is exactly what I hoped for when I first heard about Microsoft buying Activision.
Playtonic Should make it. They made the originals.
Come on Phil, get this game Greenlit.
Oh please let them do a new Banjo-Kazooie!! ^^
EDIT: OK, WHO DISLIKED THIS COMMENT OF ALL THINGS?!!!!
