Grant Kirkhope, the original composer for Banjo-Kazooie, expressed openness to returning for a sequel but remains skeptical about its feasibility. He cited challenges like the need for the right developer, as Rare is likely out of the picture, and the small size of the current fanbase, which may not support a new game financially. Although Toys For Bob has shown interest, Kirkhope is unsure if Microsoft would permit such a project, maintaining a pessimistic view regarding a revival of the beloved franchise.
"I just think it's unlikely," said Kirkhope. He sees a couple of obstacles to the franchise returning, such as finding the right developer..."
"You need millions of people to buy the game, and you've got to sell it to a whole new generation of kids."
"Whether Microsoft would give the OK, I don't know... Zero [hope] is probably a bit of a heavy estimate. It's probably better than zero but not much."
"This isn't the first time Kirkhope has been pessimistic about a new Banjo-Kazooie game... he seems unconvinced there are a ton of Banjo fans out there these days."
