During last year’s E3 presentation, Conker made an extremely brief appearance in a video that was more about Project Spark, Microsoft’s upcoming game creation software for XBox One and Windows 8.1. Reaction was hostile: that was seriously all we got? MS seemed to be saying, “We give up, just make your own Conker sequel.” Now we know a bit more. While Conker-related assets will be
