Nintendo Switch 2 Game Teased Yet Again

Nintendo Switch 2 Game Teased Yet Again

Key Takeaways

  • Playtonic Games has once again teased Yooka-Replaylee for the Switch 2.
  • The game is also coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
  • Yooka-Replaylee is a remaster of 2017’s Yooka-Laylee.

As a longtime fan of Banjo-Kazooie and its spiritual successor Yooka-Laylee, I can hardly contain my excitement at the recent tease from Playtonic Games about Yooka-Replaylee coming to the Switch 2! Having grown up with Nintendo consoles, it’s always a thrill to see new games announced for their platforms.


Playtonic Games has hinted that the revamped version of Yooka-Replaylee, which is a follow-up to 2017’s Yooka-Laylee and a spiritual successor to the cherished Banjo-Kazooie series by Rare, will be released on the Switch 2.

Excitedly, I learned about the announcement of Yooka-Replaylee this past summer. While Playtonic didn’t explicitly state it, it was hinted that the game is being developed for the yet-to-be-unveiled Nintendo console – presumably, the Switch 2. Now, Playtonic has given us a sneak peek of Yooka-Replaylee coming to the Switch 2 with an engaging tweet about the forthcoming remaster.

In a recent tweet, Playtonic unveiled a sneak peek of Yooka-Replaylee’s Rampo encounter and subtly reminded fans about the systems where the upcoming game will be available. The post reads: “Yooka-Replaylee is landing on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and…” It appears to have intentionally left out the final platform, which could imply that the game is destined for the yet-to-be-revealed Switch 2 console.

As of now, details about the Nintendo Switch 2, including its appearance and official title, remain undisclosed. However, it’s been confirmed that the new console will support older games from the same series and share the online service with its predecessor. Surprisingly, several developers have already announced plans to create games for this upcoming platform, despite the secrecy surrounding its features.

Games Announced for Switch 2 Console

  • Bestiario
  • My Time at Evershine
  • Yooka-Replaylee

The initial game confirmed for the Switch 2 is the RPG titled “Bestiario,” followed by the life sim RPG “My Time at Evershine,” which was successfully crowd-funded on Kickstarter. Additionally, “Yooka-Replaylee” has expressed interest in being part of the lineup for Nintendo’s new console, but a release date for any of these games has yet to be announced. It remains uncertain whether they will be launch titles or released at a later stage during the console’s lifespan.

The timing of everything largely hinges on the precise release date for the Nintendo Switch 2, as yet unknown since Nintendo has only promised to unveil it by April 2025, with no confirmation about when it will be available in stores. Further details will likely emerge once they officially announce the Switch 2 to the public.
