| '''''Banjo-Kazooie 3''''' is the working title for the next game in [[Rare (company)|Rare]]'s [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' franchise]], announced at the X06 Media Briefing. ''Banjo-Kazooie 3'' is the fifth game in the franchise to be released. It is currently unspecified where it fits into the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' timeline. [[Banjo]], [[Kazooie]], [[Gruntilda Winkybunion|Gruntilda]], [[Mumbo Jumbo|Mumbo Jumbo]] and [[Jolly Roger]] have been confirmed as returning characters, and it is likely that other characters from the previous games will also return.

| | |
| According to ''Eurogamer'' magazine, the original team from the earlier ''Banjo-Kazooie'' games will be working on the new game. The music will be composed by [[Grant Kirkhope]], and it is suggested that the soundtrack will be orchestrated, following in suit to ''[[Viva Piñata]]'' and ''[[Kameo: Elements of Power]]''. Rare has also confirmed that the series will be evolving gameplay wise, but will retain its unique style.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

| ==Teaser trailer==
| |
| The teaser trailer shows several gameplay elements from the previous games will be included in the upcoming game, including music notes, honeycombs, and puzzle pieces ("Jiggies"). Although Gruntilda doesn't appear in the trailer, Gruntilda's Lair can be seen past a slight fog in the distance. Also, the moat around Spiral Mountain seems to have disappeared.

| | |
| ==Confirmed characters==
| |
| ===Banjo===
| |
| Banjo is a main protagonist in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie series]]''. He is a lovable, yet somewhat confused bear, who is the hero of this tale. He appeared in [[Banjo-Kazooie]], [[Banjo-Tooie]], [[Banjo-Pilot]], [[Diddy Kong Racing]], and [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]], and will return in Banjo-Kazooie 3 as confirmed in the trailer released on September 27, 2006. Banjo's appearance is notably different from previous games in the Banjo-Kazooie series, as he appears more blocky than his original incarnation. It is unknown at this time if the new design will be kept or if it will be changed back to its original appearance (shown [[w:Image:Banjobear.jpg|here]]).
| |
| | |
| ===Kazooie===
| |
| Kazooie is the secondary protagonist in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie series]]''. She is an elegant bird with a cunning wit, and a sharp tongue to boot. She is Banjo's partner in action and comic relief. She will return in Banjo-Kazooie 3 as confirmed in the trailer released on [[September 27]], [[2006]]. Kazooie's appearance is visually different from previous games (shown [[w:Image:Kazooiestand.PNG|here]]) in the Banjo-Kazooie series, as she has a larger plume of feathers and has an overall more feminine look.
| |
| | |
| ===Gruntilda Winkybunion===
| |
| Gruntilda serves as the villain of the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie series]]''. She is a [[witch]] that vows revenge on Banjo and Kazooie. She will return in Banjo-Kazooie 3 as confirmed in the following quote from [[Rare Ltd|Rare]]; "The beloved 'Banjo-Kazooie' franchise will breathe new, high-definition life on Xbox 360 exclusively from famed developer Rare Ltd.; astonishing next-generation visuals and presentation reunite beloved characters Banjo, Kazooie and Gruntilda -- among other fan favorites -- with their sharp wit and hilarious sense of humor." At the end of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', she stated that she would return for the third game in the series, referred to there as "Banjo-Threeie".

| | |
| ===Jolly Roger===
| |
| Jolly Roger, who first appeared in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', has been announced as a character in ''Banjo-Kazooie 3''. On the Rare website in response to a fan question on whether Jolly Roger would return, they replied "Yes he will, hopefully in an expanded role that doesn't involve camp bartending."<ref name="Rare">{{cite web | title = Scribes - December 8, 2006 | publisher = [[Rare (video game company)|Rare]] | url=http://rareware.com/extras/scribes/8dec06/index.html | accessdate=2006-12-10}}</ref>

| ==Stop 'N' Swop==
| |
| On the subject of the notorious [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)#Stop 'N' Swop|Stop 'N' Swop]] feature from the original game, Gregg Mayles said in a recent interview with ''[[Retro Gamer]]'', "[...]I'm going to say nothing yet again, although we are considering revealing the truth somewhere in the third game, as some kind of anniversary treat." Similarly, Chris Sutherland comments, "For reasons I can't explain I doubt if all the details could ever be revealed on this, but in the meantime I guess you'll have to wait for the Xbox 360 game to see..."<ref name="Retro Gamer">{{Citation | title = The Making of ''Banjo-Kazooie'' | newspaper = [[Retro Gamer]] | pages = 25 | year = 2007 | date = March 29}}</ref>
