Fiery Overworld for Latest Banjo Title?

Following on from the initial six, Gregg Mayles has answered the final Banjo Threeie questions. Some of the answers have posed furthers questions and speculation, such as the description of "Conflagration Violent" as a possible clue to the name of the new overworld. Enjoy the read and join us on our forums to discuss the answers and contribute to the discussion.

Question 7
Is this game going to have more or equal freedom to the previous Banjo games?
YES - Ignore the bit that says 'or equal'.

Question 8
Is the game going to be physically much larger in terms of levels, overworld, etc?
NO - I agree that some of the worlds in Banjo-Tooie were a little too complicated and we have tried to ensure the worlds in the new game are interesting to navigate without being overly complex.

Question 9
Will there be a new hub world this time?
YES - You've seen Grunty's Lair and Isle o' Hags, now get ready for "Conflagration Violent" (work this out and you'll have the answer to one of richjonny's questions)

Question 10
Are there clues in the Christmas card related to Banjo-Threeie?
YES - Even we wouldn't be so cruel as to send you completely in the wrong direction!

Question 11
Are you more than half way finished with the game?
YES - Also more than halfway towards a nervous breakdown! There, that neatly sidestepped putting my neck on the block as regards a release date!

Question 12
(I thought it only fair to answer the first one asked...)
Is Mumbo going to be the main Shaman in B3 (e.g performing the transformations again, assuming transformations are back)?
YES - But he has a new role. As does Humba.

Bonus Question
Is that Grunty's head in the fireplace of your Christmas Card?
YES

Gregg leaves us with a creative Grunty styled poem;

This festive fun is at an end,
Many questions you did send,

Sorry to those that got no reply,
Grunty will laugh if you have a cry,

Thanks to all the fans on here,
Hope you have a happy new year!

A very large thanks to Gregg for joining the Rare Witch Project Community and providing us with the opportunity to answer some of the fans' questions.
