And it owns the perfect IP with which it can achieve that in Banjo-Kazooie. Big hits like Sackboy: A Big Adventure, A Hat in Time and Super Mario Odyssey have proven in recent years that there's still a huge audience for this style of game, which Xbox absolutely should capitalize on. Collectathon style platformers are arguably back in vogue right now. We're not asking for a new Banjo-Kazooie for the sake of nostalgia. While there are several Rare games we're pretty nostalgic for (Jet Force Gemini and Grabbed by the Ghoulies immediately spring to mind), the iconic bear-and-bird duo have to be next on the list for a grand return. Outside of 2013's Killer Instinct, the Battletoads reboot, and the superb Rare Replay compilation, Xbox has seriously dropped the ball on making use of developer Rare's library of brilliant IP. A new Banjo-KazooieĪnd now for the pipe dream announcement. As a result, we think Perfect Dark appearing at the Xbox and Bethesda showcase is a long shot, but we hope we'll get at least some updates on the project in the form of a new trailer or a tentative release window. Reports of the game (opens in new tab) being stuck in development hell, however, don't bode well for the project.

Unfortunately, Redfall has also been delayed and is currently slated to launch sometime in 2023, twisting the knife even further when it comes to Xbox Series X/S exclusives. Hopefully the developer can continue its winning streak and deliver on this ambitious project. Arkane's no stranger to making excellent first-person games, thankfully. The trailer was admittedly a fun watch, introducing the game's playable characters and a delightfully spooky, vampiric setting.Īmong a gaming landscape where co-operative shooters are a dime a dozen, Redfall seriously needs to set itself apart from the crowd if it wants to attract and retain a sizeable audience. With a resume as impressive as that, Redfall shouldn't disappoint.Īll we've seen of the game so far, though, is a brief CGI trailer shown at last year's Xbox and Bethesda showcase. The other big Bethesda game we'd love to see make an appearance is Redfall, the co-op first-person shooter being developed by Arkane Studios, who was previously responsible for hits like Deathloop, Prey, and Dishonored.
