<p>Ever since Banjo and Kazooie were officially confirmed as <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate"><strong>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</strong></a> fighters <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/06/banjo-kazooie_confirmed_for_super_smash_bros_ultimate_this_fall">last summer</a>, rumours and speculation surrounding new games and remasters for Rare’s legendary series have been doing the rounds online. One such rumour suggests that Playtonic, a studio housing plenty of ex-Rare staff, is helping Rare, Microsoft, or both to create a new title.</p>
<p>Today, and <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/11/no_playtonic_games_isnt_making_a_new_banjo-kazooie_or_joining_microsoft">not for the first time</a>, Playtonic Games has taken to social media to gently let down any fans believing such rumours to be true.</p>
