Banjo-Kazooie composer reiterates he has "zero hope" for a new game in Rare's iconic platformer series, and besides, "all you die-hard fans would instantly hate it"

Banjo and Kazooie next to the Duck Hunt Duo in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The Banjo-Kazooie series has been dormant for over 16 years at this point, and composer Grant Kirkhope has "zero hope" that's ever going to change, even though he'd be up for reprising his role if it did. 

Over on Twitter this week, Kirkhope, who composed the music for the first game, Banjo-Tooie, and Nuts and Bolts, was asked if he'd be willing to create the soundtrack for a new Banjo game if it ever happened, to which the answer is a short but sweet, "Of course." Does that mean anything is actually happening though? According to the composer, seemingly not.
