Banjo-Kazooie’s “Lighthouse” PC Port Arrives in July with Built-In Randomizer, Online Co-Op, and Mod Support

The Harbour Masters are back. The team behind native PC ports of Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Majora’s Mask has unveiled Lighthouse, a native PC port of Banjo-Kazooie slated for July 2026. The announcement came through a YouTube teaser posted on June 13, 2026.

Lighthouse is built on the 2024 Banjo-Kazooie decompilation project, giving it a significant modding advantage: the human-readable source code unlocks deep modifications not possible with a recompile. From launch, the port will support ROM hacks via the built-in “Banjo’s Backpack” tool, along with high framerates, ultrawide support, preserved glitches, and Steam Deck compatibility. A legally owned copy of the game is required to extract assets.

Online co-op, randomizer, and community-first design from day one.

The headline feature is a standalone randomizer at launch, capable of shuffling Jiggies, Jinjos, Mumbo Tokens, musical notes, and abilities across every level. Online co-op will also be available from release. Archipelago cross-game randomizer support is in the pipeline for a future update. To follow the project and download the final build when it drops in July, head to the BanjoRecomp GitHub page and keep an eye on official Harbour Masters announcements.
