Iconic Banjo-Kazooie composer is more hopeful about a sequel these days, but knows "like three companies" have already been turned down

Composer Grant Kirkhope, known for the Banjo-Kazooie soundtracks, believes a sequel is now slightly more likely due to potential shifts in Rare's leadership and Microsoft's openness to established franchises. While several companies have pitched ideas for a new Banjo-Kazooie game, none have been successful so far.
