Yooka-Replaylee hits play on a new trailer
Playtonic have released a new trailer for Yooka-Replaylee, their upcoming remaster of their original game, showing off what awaits players in this updated release, check it out.
You might think that the game is just a remaster, you know same game, shinier visuals, but the team are putting in quite a bit of work to make it worth replaying, pun intended. These are the core features that the team are bringing to this release:
MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER – With an art and animations overhaul and enhanced performance and resolution, the favourite buddy duo has never looked or moved better.
NEW AND IMPROVED CHALLENGES – Improvements to existing in-game challenges and many entirely new challenges to discover and undertake!
NEW COLLECTIBLE CURRENCY – Capital B's inept minions have dropped their hard-earned coins all over the place. Collect the official currency of the Hivory Towers to spend on video games' most beloved sentient vending machine.
NAVIGATING THE WORLD – Now you can get lost in the game, not in the world! A brand-new world map and challenges tracker helps you know where you are and what needs to be done. Hooray!
VENDI HAS PLENTY TO OFFER – Tonics are back with all new flavours! With the option to equip multiple game-changing enhancements, you can truly customize your playstyle. And as if that wasn't enough, Vendi has new lines of merchandise for the modern fashionable adventurer.
REVISED CONTROLS & CAMERA – A new tweaked move set allows you to combine moves more fluidly while the new camera controls makes framing the action a breeze.
A DREAMY ORCHESTRAL SOUNDTRACK – The original score from famed video game composers Grant Kirkhope (Banjo-Kazooie) and David Wise (Donkey Kong Country) returns but as a beautifully arranged orchestral score. Now seriously, clean out those ears.
The game does not have a release date yet, beyond 2025, but when it does release it will hit PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo platforms. That last group is important, as if it was just Switch, they would say that, but by saying Nintendo platforms, they leave themselves open to the game hitting both generations of Switch, but time will tell.
