Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has hinted at the potential return of the beloved Banjo-Kazooie franchise, leading fans to speculate about a possible new entry after 15 years since the last game. In an interview, Spencer expressed his understanding of fans' desires to see their favorite series revived and touched on the importance of having the original development team or creators involved in the process to ensure that the passion and culture of the franchise are preserved.

Despite previous rumors and the skepticism of some former developers regarding a new installment, Banjo-Kazooie remains a popular candidate among the top Xbox franchises fans would like to see make a comeback. At the moment, those looking for a similar experience can check out Yooka-Laylee, a game developed by key members of the original Banjo-Kazooie team, which was well-received for reigniting interest in the genre.

While there's no official confirmation yet, Spencer's comments have reignited hope within the gaming community for the return of Banjo-Kazooie, and all eyes are on Xbox for any further announcements regarding the fate of this classic platforming series.
