Banjo-Kazooie remake Prior to developing Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (2008), members of Rare's team proposed creating a remake of the original Banjo-Kazooie where the characters became aware they were in a remake and were repeating actions they had already done in the original game, which in effect would lead to characters acting differently, with the remake eventually branching off into very different events from the original game. The idea was rejected by management due to fears of how the game would be perceived; concurrently worrying that some would be unhappy that it wasn't completely a new game, while others would never play far enough to realize how much it differed from the original game.[1][2] Rare Microsoft
Fast and the Furriest A proposed racing video game by Rare for the Xbox 360 that would have featured various Rare characters as playable characters, including Joanna Dark and Banjo & Kazooie. It was not announced while in development, but rather, was later revealed as a cancelled project in 2015 as part of the documentaries released in conjunction with Rare Replay (2015). No reason was disclosed for its cancellation.[3] Rare Microsoft
Kameo 2 A sequel to Kameo: Elements of Power (2005) was in development by Rare for the Xbox 360 following the completion of the original title. It was not announced while in development, but rather, was later revealed as a cancelled project in 2015 as part of the documentaries released in conjunction with Rare Replay (2015). The title would have featured a darker fantasy world, now upgraded with industrial revolution-era technology. No reason was disclosed for its cancellation.[3] Rare Microsoft
