Release date: 11 April 2017Available to pre-order from: Amazon,Game
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch

This Kickstarter-funded platformer is a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel Banjo-Tooie, made by a load of the people who used to work at developer Rare. It'll feature a similar mix of platforming and collectables, driven by a host of weird and wacky characters, though tweaked and fine-tuned to suit modern tastes. A Wii U version of the game was recently cancelled, but the developers are working with Nintendo to hopefully bring it to the upcoming Switch instead.see more
