Microsoft revealed more details about future plans for Project Spark. At the end of the trailer, Conker the Squirrel made an appearance much to the delight of Rare fans in attendance and on the internet.
Shortly after the briefing, a press release came out detailing more about what was shown. The developers are enamored with Conker and hope to “be as true and genuine to Conker as possible” . The inclusion of Conker into Project Spark has been described as “giving players the power to continue the ‘Conker’ legacy.”
The community manager for Project Spark, Mike Lescault, appeared on NeoGAF to talk more about their intentions with Conker. “We love games. Old games, new games, classic games. Conker is something many of us grew up with,” said Lescault. “We love the heck out of the crazy little guy and we want to hang out with him as much as you guys do, possibly more. We’ll be releasing more details on our plans for Conker in the future. Please know that we love and respect Conker and his (in)famous history. We’re huge fans of everyone at Rare and we’re a very community-driven team that is always looking for your ideas and feedback. Please let us know your thoughts on what you’d consider the best and most respectful way for us to honor Conker in Project Spark.”
