Overview
- Animator Travis Howe shared a 26-second, shot-for-shot remake of an early Jak & Daxter cutscene on Wednesday, showing a 2019 proof-of-concept for a remaster.
- Howe said the work was an unofficial fan pitch, not commissioned by Sony, and the company declined to move it forward.
- Credits he shared point to former Sanzaru Games colleagues, and the studio closed in January 2026 after a Meta acquisition, leaving developers to showcase past work.
- The clip demonstrates updated models, lighting, and animation in the vein of the Crash and Spyro remasters, and Howe asked fans to share the post to signal interest.
- There has been no mainline Jak & Daxter release since 2009, which helps explain why resurfaced pitch material can reignite calls for a revival even without any project approved.
