Yooka-Replaylee | Discount For Original Owners

Hey folks,

As the Yooka-Replaylee dev team crack on with polishing up all those textures up to 4K and Kev moves all those pesky Quills around, I've been keeping a close eye on your comments and thoughts since we announced the remaster and I come with an update I think at least one person will be happy to hear!

We are happy to confirm that there WILL be a discount on Yooka-Replaylee for owners of the original game!

We'll go into detail closer to release but for now, start thinking about what you're gonna spend that extra money on! Maybe a celebratory launch kebab (a Steve favourite), some new socks, or perhaps a nice little treat for the pet in your life?

For clarity, this currently only applies to Steam right now as we're yet to announce console support but we'll keep you posted once we have console news!

Yooka-Replaylee is shaping up to be the best game ever definitive way to play and experience the very first of Yooka and Laylee's adventures and we want to recognise and thank all of our original Kickstarter backers and all the folks who supported us by buying Yooka-Laylee in the first place. So thank you! We're putting a lot of love into Yooka-Replaylee and we can't wait for you to see what we've been up to!

We've also written an FAQ that'll be updated constantly as we have more answers to the most frequently asked questions!

If you're the one person who was waiting for this fantastic news before hitting that lovely "Wishlist" button, feel free to do it now, go on, it's free and it means we get to watch a little number go up on our side. It's very exciting for people like me! (Nerds)

Stay tuned to our Steam news pages and social media as our next Dev video about Yooka-Replaylee will dropping in August as part of a series of videos where we go over all the things you can expect from the game!

Now, to ensure Trowzer doesn't catch wind of us practically giving the game away, this message will self-destruct in 5...4...3...2...

Announcing Yooka-Replaylee!

Calling all 3D platformer fans! A lizard and a bat... we are so back!

Hello folks!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We are VERY pleased to finally show you one of the many exciting things we've been working on! Introducing Yooka-Replaylee!

One of the ways we wanted to celebrate our approaching 10th Birthday is by providing fans with the best way to play the game that started it all!

"What a great new pun-derful title" we hear you say, but you want to know details. We've got you: There's a revised control and camera system, tweaks to abilities, remixed and new challenges, new collectibles, a fancy new coat of visual paint, of course, and more we'll be digging in to in the coming months!

Yooka-Replaylee is the culmination of almost 10 years of experience since founding Playtonic (Seriously, how has it been nearly 10 years since 2015?!) and we've channelled much of what we've learned while tinkering on other projects, as well as taking on board community feedback from the original release, in to making this the best way to play Yooka-Laylee.

Very soon, we'll be releasing a Q&A video with some developers you may recognise to talk more about what Yooka-Replaylee is and what it means for us as studio. Until then, stay tuned to our socials for more news and Wishlist Yooka-Replaylee on Steam!
