Yooka-Replaylee Confirmed For “Nintendo” Console

Playtonic has announced that their upcoming remaster Yooka-Replaylee is heading to consoles.

The updated re-release of the 3D collectathon Yooka-Laylee has been confirmed to release on XBox Series, PS5, and perhaps most interestingly, “Nintendo”. Although not explicit, many fans believe that this means the game will release on the successor to the Nintendo Switch, widely believed to be called the “Switch 2”. This is the second indie game that was seemingly confirmed for the console, following My Time At Evershine.

Check out the latest trailer below:

About

Yooka-Replaylee is the definitive remastered and enhanced version of the 3D indie platforming collectathon darling, Yooka-Laylee (2017), developed by key creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. New remixed challenges and old favourites await as you embark to explore the huge, beautiful open worlds as the lovable buddy-duo Yooka (the green one) and Laylee (the purple one) once more, all while backed by a beautiful orchestral soundtrack. Did we mention there is a map now? A shiny new currency? And tons of customisation options? The favourite buddy duo has never moved, looked, or sounded better!

Corporate creep Capital B is on a quest to steal all the books in the world and turn them into cold hard cash. BUT the most powerful book in the universe is right under his crooked nose in the neighbouring Shipwreck Creek, home to our adventurous buddy-duo, Yooka and Laylee! Seeing their prized book stolen pulls them into a wacky adventure across many fantastical & imaginative worlds, full of colourful characters and vault-loads of shiny collectibles.

Can you find all of the magical Pagies from their book and save the day?
