Yooka-Laylee - Jonno


Hey everyone!

You've been getting stuck into Yooka-Laylee for two Pagie packed weeks now and Playtonic have an update for you...but first, a word of thanks from the Developers:

Yooka-Laylee has been in the wild for two whole weeks and we’ve been positively overchuffed by the response from fans and backers around the world! We’ve very much enjoyed reading your feedback, lurking on your livestreams and absorbing your lovely comments, so thanks again for the support! It’s been emotional.

Thanks to you lot, some 20 developers remain off the streets, mostly fed and in a stronger position than ever to continue creating colourful, personality-plump adventures!


What's next?

Your feedback has been amazing, thank you for taking the time to get in touch and sharing both positive and constructive feedback that will allow us to add significant improvements to the game and even add in some of the most requested features. So, coming soon...
  • The ability to skip dialogue faster.
  • Bypass cutscenes.
  • The ability to reduce the dulcet gibberish tones of the characters.
  • Design polish & gameplay tweaks.
And by popular request, Camera changes.

We've heard you loud and clear on how you feel about the camera, so we're going to be making some changes to how the camera operates. This will give more freedom to the player by taking some, if not all of the reigns off the camera.

We'll be sharing a more detailed breakdown of the planned game update in the coming weeks as we make progress.

Until then, we'll be hanging out in the forums chatting to you and helping where we can.

If you'd like a sneak peek of the camera changes and dig a bit deeper into what's going on behind the scenes at Playtonic you can do so over on their official blog HERE.

Hey Community,

It's exciting news time! That's right, it's time to show off some of the multiplayer goodness you can get stuck into in Yooka-laylee.

Yooka-Laylee will feature 8 unique multiplayer games that can be found in dated dinosaur Rextro's Arcade, and a two player buddy mode for the main adventure!

Rextro's Arcade can be tackled solo to achieve high scores, or in local couch co-op with up to four players! Compete in the Glaciators brawler arena to collect the most quills, race to the finish line in Kartos Karting, fight for the flag in Blag the Flag, blast away the enemies in shoot-em-up Gun-let Run and traverse both Jobstacle Course and Hurdle Hijinx, plus more!

To engage in two player co-operative gameplay, simply connect an additional controller to buddy up (drop in, drop out style)! Taking control of the Bee Team, the second player will able to grab quills and collect and store butterflies for when Yooka and Laylee are really in need of health or energy boost. They can even stop some traps to help the player traverse past particularly tricky obstacles!

The trailer is live and ready for you to oggle in all it's glory, we look forward to hearing what you think in the forums!
