Playtonic's next project

Hopefully they can make Banjo Three if Microsoft greenlights it.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that building. I bet they already know what their next project will be.

I think a game with a great character rooster, to introduce their Playtonic Universe Cast/ World´s would be a good choice.

But there would be many ways to do that.

I for myself would be happy, about a Fun Racer.
But that would also be possible in a Fun Beat´em Up.

Or even a Party Game!

Although, i would be most down to a Fun Racer.

One game, to introduce us in their new Universe and from there, they could go in Every direction they want.
I think, that would be pretty cool.

As an adult I don't like party games. As a kid I used to love Mario Party and Crash Bash. But I haven't picked up a Mario Party for like 3 generations of consoles and I don't ever plan on doing.

Okay how big is Playtonic right now? I lost track of the number of employees and their move to yet another bigger office sounds like they're ramping up for a second dev team...

today i had the perfect idea

"Donkey Kong Racing" for the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo still owns the Donkey Kong rights.
+ there will be only a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version for the switch (i guess there won't be a new mario kart for a long time.)
Playtonic could collaborate with Nitnendo/RetroStudios and make the DiddyKongRacing successor everybody was waiting for.

Both would benefit.
Nintendo: no pressure for new mario kart.
Playtonic: more fame + collab with RetroStudios for more Rarerevival.

I just want a revolutionary 2D platformer, like DKC was back in the day. Basically a 2D platformer with new mechanics. Would also love if they could work with nintendo on DK64 2 (DK Switch?)

Maybe Crank the Weasel or unknown Conker's Bad Fur Day spiritual successor?

I suspect they'll want to try something totally unrelated to platforming involving the same characters they're establishing in Yooka-Laylee.

They'll want to set themselves up as a company that can handle all sorts of genres and their characters as flexible enough to carry games from all sorts of genres.

Let's not forget: Mario isn't just the most successful platforming franchise ever, he's also the most popular and lucrative racing game series (Mario Kart), has a profitable niche in sports games (Mario Golf, Tennis, with Sonic at the Olympics, etc) and has a neat line in RPGs (Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi).
If Playtonic can set something like that up, it will be a huge asset.
