Even though Rare hasn´t said much about the recent rumors about a new “Banjo Kazooie” game. There´s at least one thing that we (the fans) can be happy about. And that would be Auldbenkenobi´s Banjo Kazooie Unreal Engine 4 project.

Just the thought of Banjo Kazooie and Unreal Engine 4, makes me smile inside and out. So far it´s “just” a work in progress project. But it´s a very ambitious project, because the plan would be to recreate an area from Banjo Kazooie in UE4.

Sounds pretty cool huh? Well, checkout Auldbenkenobi´s post on polycount for more pictures and info!

“Hey everyone, here’s a new project of mine. My first true delve into UE4, and I decided to recreate an area from my all time favourite game, Banjo Kazooie.

I’m hoping to achieve a blend of cartoony and realism (Similar to Nut’s & Bolts) and I’ve seen someone else on Polycount (Who’s name escapes me) who did the same scene in UDK, so that’s a huge spot inspiration to me right now!” – Auldbenkenobi, via Polycount
