In a recent interview, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer discussed the plans for Microsoft following their acquisition of Activision Blizzard. One exciting possibility that Spencer mentioned is the potential for remakes and revitalizations of some beloved but forgotten gaming titles.
Spencer expressed his openness to picking up a couple of franchises each year and creating revisited versions of them. He believes that there is a treasure trove of titles within their teams that can be revisited and brought back to life. He even mentioned the success of the remaster of Quake 2 as an example of how a game can be updated while still honoring its history.
Fans are already buzzing with excitement and compiling their wishlists of games they hope to see remastered properly. Titles like Banjo Kazooie, Dungeon Siege, and Crimson Skies are at the top of everyone’s list. Personally, I’m eager to see a reboot of Banjo Kazooie, a game that holds a special place in my gaming memories.
While it remains to be seen if these plans will come to fruition, it’s refreshing to see a willingness to revive and preserve gaming history. The industry has often failed to preserve its past, so this news gives us a glimmer of hope.
