Project Ukulele – the Banjo Kazooie spiritual successor from Playtonic – is featured in this month’s EDGE. The magazine shares concept art, which you can find above.

In the magazine, Playtonic lead and Gavin Price said: “There’s been so much pent-up passion for doing something like this, because we’ve all been sat on a lot of these ideas since Banjo-Tooie came out.”

The next step for Playtonic is to make a proof-of-concept. The company will then upscale to an “N64-size” team of between 10 to 15 staff, and several former Rare employees are in waiting on these positions.

Tomonobu Itagaki has taken to Facebook and has shared another status update for Devil’s Third.

Itagaki said that Devil’s Third is “an unprecedented massive shooter to be played by tons of players”. He adds, “The game contains a lot of elements well over the volume to be provided by two regular games.” Such a large amount of content means the game must be properly developed before it’s ready for launch.

Itagaki goes on to say that Devil’s Third “will be the biggest game of life for me and my colleagues”. The project required two years of concept work, plus four years for actual development.

Itagaki closed his update by thanking fans for their patience.
