Playtonic Games spoke news today that it’s official name to they’re upcoming game that’s a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie is called Yooka-Laylee. That name came from a combanation of its two main characters, chameleon Yooka and bat Laylee.
The game will have its Kickstarter funding campaign live tommorow at 5 PM UK time. Also, it will be released on PC first then on consoles later on.
Playtonic is a developer made up of a bunch of former RARE devs, and the first title they worked on was the 3D platformer, Yooka-Laylee. Those who followed RARE over the years definitely saw the DNA of Banjo-Kazooie in Yooka-Laylee, but it turns out the original plan was even deeper than that.
Wouldn’t they be exclusive to the Xbox One version just like they were exclusive to the Xbox 360 versions of Sega All Stars Racing
Although since Banjo-Kazooie skins were available in every version of Minecraft, it could’ve been possible for the same to apply for Yookah-Laylee
The PS4 has a killer roster of incredible platformers. Ranging from simple 2D platformers to vibrant 3D platforming games.
No mention of Astrobot on the VR, one of the best platform titles Sony have put out
Limited Run Games has announced Mutant Mudds and Yooka-Laylee tabletop games, both of which are available for pre-order until early September 2021.
OMG that is epic
They've even put the logo in the style of the Banjo Kazooie ones. It's like a giant middle finger to the Rare of today.
Seriously if developers franchises are ruined by the big guys they should start their own studio and do something like this.
Resident Evil is one. Do a game about a group of police officers going into an old ancient Chateau and they come across Vampire like creatures. It would be Resident Evil but vampires instead of zombies. We wouldn't say it's "copying" because we know the situation with Capcom and how they ruined the series.
Nice! Looking forward to seeing more about it in the future!
Nice.looks fun.i really hope this and rares unannounced project turn out really great cos i intend to buy both at launch.
That's great it is coming to console. If it gets funded.
The characters are really cool, can't wait for the game and thanks to bring a 3D platformer.
