Kazooie Statue At Rare HQ Falls Victim To Storm Ciara
Those living in the UK will no doubt know or have felt the brunt of Storm Ciara by now, with its strong winds wreaking havoc all over London yesterday. As locals slowly pick up the pieces, however – it looks like gaming fans across the world have suffered a fatal casualty too.
One of the locations that Storm Ciara swept through was Rare Ltd.‘s headquarters, which featured statues of Banjo, Kazooie, and Conker near their office. While Rare themselves were fine, the Kazooie statue sadly did not survive the rough weather – and is now in pieces.
The studio got by unscathed but #StormCiara did claim a few casualties on its way through the Rare grounds yesterday. Thanks weather! pic.twitter.com/l9yvIZ5m5s

Here’s hoping that the studio finds a way to put Kazooie back together again! Until then, it looks like Banjo will just have to hang out with Conker at Rare HQ, instead.
