Yooka-Replaylee gets a new trailer, platforms announced

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia upon hearing the news about Yooka-Replaylee. The original Yooka-Laylee was a delightful throwback to the platforming adventures of my youth, and I’m thrilled to see it getting a modern makeover.


As an eager fan, I’m thrilled to share that Playtonic has unveiled more than just a fresh trailer for Yooka-Laylee Replaced – the highly anticipated remake of the original Yooka-Laylee game! But that’s not all; they’ve also revealed the platforms on which this nostalgia-inducing adventure will be available. Can’t wait to dive back into this vibrant world!

Initially, the game will be available on several platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The developer hinted at a release date but chose not to disclose it yet, saying: “Prepare to embark on Yooka and Laylee’s initial journey on your preferred platform when the game drops. However, I’m afraid it’s still too early for specifics regarding the launch date.

Check out the new trailer, then, below:


 

Playtonic has been continually working on Yooka-Laylee since its initial announcement, infusing it with even more of their unique charm. Check out the latest trailer below to catch a glimpse of the updates made to this dynamic duo’s exciting journey. In this sneak peek, you’ll see Tribalstack Tropics and Glitterglaze Glacier for the first time, along with improvements in platforming and gameplay, revised challenges, new characters (like Coinelius!), a fresh currency system (Q.U.I.D.S.), and visual enhancements to everything from the characters to the world, as well as the UI/HUD. Keen listeners will also get a hint of what the orchestral soundtrack will soon offer!

And we have plenty more to show soon! We just need Capital B to let us into his vault first.”

Here’s the key features of the remake:

  • MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER – With an art and animations overhaul and enhanced performance and resolution, the favourite buddy duo has never looked or moved better.
  • NEW AND IMPROVED CHALLENGES – Improvements to existing in-game challenges and many entirely new challenges to discover and undertake!
  • NEW COLLECTIBLE CURRENCY – Capital B’s inept minions have dropped their hard-earned coins all over the place. Collect the official currency of the Hivory Towers to spend on video games’ most beloved sentient vending machine.
  • NAVIGATING THE WORLD – Now you can get lost in the game, not in the world! A brand-new world map and challenges tracker helps you know where you are and what needs to be done. Hooray!
  • VENDI HAS PLENTY TO OFFER – Tonics are back with all new flavours! With the option to equip multiple game-changing enhancements, you can truly customise your playstyle. And as if that wasn’t enough, Vendi has new lines of merchandise for the modern fashionable adventurer.
  • REVISED CONTROLS & CAMERA – A new tweaked move set allows you to combine moves more fluidly while the new camera controls makes framing the action a breeze.
  • A DREAMY ORCHESTRAL SOUNDTRACK – The original score from famed video game composers Grant Kirkhope (Banjo-Kazooie) and David Wise (Donkey Kong Country) returns but as a beautifully arranged orchestral score. Now seriously, clean out those ears.

Yooka-Replaylee is coming to Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.
