'Yooka-Replaylee' Is Also Coming To Nintendo Switch, PS5 And Xbox Series X|S, Playable At EGX - Screens & Trailer

Embark on an epic open-world 3D platforming collectathon adventure with Yooka and Laylee, now revamped with updated visuals, improvements, better controls and new content.

Meet the definitive remastered and enhanced version of the 3D indie platforming collectathon darling, Yooka-Laylee (2017), with the same key creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games at the helm and self-published by Playtonic Friends.

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?


Hot off the press and running off with it before the ink even dries, Playtonic are back with a fresh announcement: Yooka-Replaylee is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo platforms!

Experience the definitive version of Yooka and Laylee's very first adventure on a platform of your choice when the game launches on... wait, too soon for that.

Development has been ongoing since the announcement as more and more of Playtonic magic gets applied to Yooka-Replaylee.

Watch the latest trailer above and see more of the changes made to the buddy duo's epic wacky adventure. Get a first look at Tribalstack Tropics and Glitterglaze Glacier along with a glimpse at the platforming and gameplay improvements, tweaked challenges, new characters (meet Coinelius!), the new currency (Q.U.I.D.S) and the visual overhaul to everything from the characters to the world as well as the UI/HUD. Those with sharp ears will also notice a very first taste of what the orchestral soundtrack will sound like!

COME PLAY THE DEMO AT EGX!

Ah haa, but wait! That's not all! In case you missed the news Playtonic is also going to be at EGX in London starting TOMORROW and players will be able to get their hands on the very first available demo for Yooka-Replaylee!
