Alright, so you probably saw the news about this "Banjo-Kazooie: Mumbomania" project that was cross-posted to Pure Xbox by our friends at Push Square yesterday - a game made in Dreams for PS5 that's gone viral this week.

The gist is that someone made their own version of Banjo-Kazooie inside of the PS5 creation tool, and it's so impressive that even the Xbox Studio "Rare" (the original developer of Banjo-Kazooie) highlighted it as some "incredible work".

The big problem with this is that it's reminding everyone how Xbox still hasn't done anything significant with the Banjo-Kazooie IP in years, and Rare in particular seems to be getting inundated with requests to make a new game.

Here's just a small example of the bombardment of comments being sent their way on Twitter:

"Bro they’ve done more work than yall keeping the franchise alive"

"Hire this guy and Make a new Banjo. And drop it on all consoles. Don’t ya’ll wanna make money??"

"WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING THIS!?"

"So why don't you do it huh??"

"Now that you guys can see how it's done, put out a proper Banjo game."

From a faraway vantage point, it does make a lot of sense. Sea Of Thieves obviously continues to be a success for Rare, but Everwild unfortunately ended up getting cancelled earlier this year following a long development period.

A new Banjo-Kazooie game feels like it would print money no matter what, and even though Rare has changed substantially over the years, it's always been a supremely talented studio - we have faith they could pull something special off.

The creator of this Dreams project is interested in getting involved as well!

Again though, we're looking at this from a very faraway vantage point in which we don't know the inner workings of Rare and Xbox Game Studios. Perhaps Xbox already has a studio on a Banjo game? Perhaps Rare is that studio? Maybe there are very good reasons why Xbox and/or Rare still don't want to touch the IP after all these years?

Whatever the case may be, the demand for a new Banjo-Kazooie game isn't going to go away, and it just seems like a matter of time until Xbox finally delivers something new for the series. It just remains to be seen what form that'll take, and which studio will be behind it.
