YOOKA-REPLAYLEE COMING TO PS5, XBOX SERIES X/S & NINTENDO PLATFORMS
Hot off the press and running off with it before the ink even dries, Playtonic are back with a fresh announcement following the game’s world premiere back in June: Yooka-Replaylee is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo platforms! Experience the definitive version of Yooka and Laylee’s very first adventure on a platform of your choice when the game launches on… wait, too soon for that.
Development has been ongoing since the announcement as more and more of Playtonic magic gets applied to Yooka-Replaylee. Watch the latest trailer below and see more of the changes made to the buddy duo’s epic wacky adventure. Get a first look at Tribalstack Tropics and Glitterglaze Glacier along with a glimpse at the platforming and gameplay improvements, tweaked challenges, new characters (meet Coinelius!), the new currency (Q.U.I.D.S) and the visual overhaul to everything from the characters to the world as well as the UI/HUD. Those with sharp ears will also notice a very first taste of what the orchestral soundtrack will sound like!
And we have plenty more to show soon! We just need Capital B to let us into his vault first.
