As a seasoned gamer who has traversed countless virtual landscapes and delved into numerous gaming lore, I must say that the latest developer commentary video for Yooka-Replaylee by Playtonic has piqued my interest significantly. The transformation of Coinelius’ coins and the introduction of new collectibles such as Pagie pieces are intriguing twists that promise to enrich the gameplay experience.

Playtonic has shared a behind-the-scenes video of Yooka-Laylee, featuring discussions from the studio head while showcasing clips from Glitterglaze Glacier.

In this video, you’ll find Steve James (Community Manager) engaging in conversation with Gavin Price (Head of Studio), discussing various aspects of the game for an entire hour.

For your convenience, you’ll find the details provided by the game’s developer (Steam) beneath the video. This information is there if you wish to delve deeper into the game before diving in.


 

Here’s the topics covered:

  • Coinelius’ coins’ new colour: Coinelius, the helpful piggy bank and new character edition to Yooka-Replaylee has already undergone a change with his beautiful platinum coins having stolen the golden hues of the Quill because…
  • Level-specific Quills: Having given up their golden coat to Coinelius’ coins, Quills now come in a variety of colours as they become specific to the level the player is currently in. Why is this? Because our crafty salesman Trowzer has gotten pickier over the years.
  • Trowzer’s new wares: The role of Trowzer is fundamentally changing in Yooka-Replaylee with a whole new set of wares to sell. What these wares are we are not ready to reveal quite yet.
  • All moves from the beginning: In one of the bigger changes to the game, and why the role of our beloved salesman has changed, is that players will have access to the full arsenal of Yooka and Laylee’s moves from the start of the game.
  • New Pagie pieces collectible: A new collectible has joined the roster in the form of Pagie pieces. Collecting these will unlock additional bonuses.
  • Levels available in their “expanded” stage from the start: In another change to the original Yooka-Laylee, levels will now be available in their entirety from the very start.

Playtonic Developers have hinted at revealing more details about Yooka-Laylee in the upcoming New Year.
