Browsing the internet I came across this Twitter thread about a spanish guy, who has done his homework and theorizes about the idea of Obsidian Entertainment working on a new Conker game. I am going to leave you here the first tweet of the thread, in case you want to take a look at it and here I am going to translate for you the main bits that make him think about this possibility. I am bilingual (bragging mode on).
1. Obsidian visited Rare studios in 2019 (this means nothing, I know).
2. Matt Booty, in the "E3 2019 Xbox Game Studios Coliseum" talk, briefly mentioned this possibility. Minute 49:50 of this video:
3. Obsidian is working on multiple projects in this moment, and Brando Adler is leading an unnanounced one.
4. His twitter account has been long inactive, but he follows Rare twitter account. Also, his bio says:
"Game Director at Obsidian Entertainment. Currently working on an unannounced project"
5. MS included a very brief appeareance of Conker in a recent promotional video. Minute 2:26 of this video:
6. In the Rare Replay E3 2018 Trailer we can see the following image:
It seems it showcases the franchises that Rare considers more iconic. Battletoads and Perfect Dark have been already taken care of, but what about Banjo and Conker?

I admit all of these could be a whole load of nothing, but just the idea of thinking about this possibility is interesting and exciting at the same time, in my opinion.
