Unreal Engine demos and remake projects are incredibly popular of late. Usually it’s a fan who has taken the time to visually upgrade a classic game, giving it a facelift and making us yearn for something official to come down the pipeline.
We’ve seen many of these demos and the latest to catch our eye is anUnreal Engine 5remake ofBanjo-Kazooie. Perhaps not a game you’d instantly think of for this kind of treatment, but there’s no denying thatthe footageis gorgeous and it brings a new look to a long-time favourite of many.
Please give us a new Banko-Kazooie, we’ve been very good and deserve it
Project Dreamhas brought the bear and the bird into modern day - more than Microsoft have attempted… ahem - and it looks lush. The tech demo of Spiral Mountain features gorgeous wavy grass, sparkling light as it hits waterfalls, and everything just feels fresh and new. Even the interior of Banjo and Kazooie’s house pops with saturated colours and bright textures.

With so many of the older N64 franchises still living on atNintendo, this would be a perfect time for Microsoft to drop a newBanjo-Kazooie, or even a remake, and capture a new audience while bringing something great to longtime fans. Let’s hope there’s something bubbling away behind the scenes because this tech demo is giving us all the feels and we want more.
