We finally have a released date for Playtonic’s spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie, Yooka-Laylee.
The game was recently delayed, and the Nintendo Wii U version has been cancelled, but, Playtonic is working with Nintendo to bring Yooka-Laylee to Nintendo Switch.
Today we can finally confirm that Yooka-Laylee will launch on April 11, 2017 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Mac and Linux, with pre-orders now available at $39.99 for non-Kickstarter backers in both digital and physical formats from all participating stores worldwide!
Coming to a shelf near you.
As an extra special bonus, everyone who pre-orders Yooka-Laylee on PC, Xbox One or PS4 will receive an instant unlock of the Yooka-Laylee Toybox, which offers a taste of the platforming mechanics set to appear in the full game in a self-contained, spoiler free sandbox. We’re also currently looking in to ways we can make the console Toybox available to appropriate backers (we’ll update you on that soon).
On Steam and GOG.com, you’ll also find special Digital Deluxe versions of Yooka-Laylee which include a digital soundtrack and manual / art book.
Kickstarter backers will soon be able to upgrade their pledge to a physical version, but we need a little bit longer to finalise the method. Our priority is to make sure that physical backers receive their game as soon as possible and not weeks late, so we want to make sure we choose the right distribution method before taking your pledges.
