Hey folks!

We've put together a quick FAQ to cover some of the frequently asked questions about Yooka-Replaylee! Check it out below to see if YOUR frequently asked question has an answer!

We'll also be doing a dev Q&A soon to discuss more about the game so stay tuned for that!

What is Yooka-Replaylee? Is this a remaster?

Yooka-Replaylee is the culmination of almost 10 years of experience since we founded Playtonic way way back in 2015! We’ve taken on board all the community feedback as well as channelling everything we’ve learned while working on other projects to make this the definitive version of Yooka-Laylee. It’s more than a remaster! Find out more on the store page.

Here's some videos to give you a bigger picture!

Yooka-Replaylee vs Yooka-Laylee Gameplay Comparison

Why now?

Well, we’re approaching our 10th Birthday as a studio and as we’ve grown and learned, we’ve always wanted to revisit the game that started it all and what better way to celebrate reaching 10 years?! That’s no easy feat in the current games landscape! We’re incredibly proud of Yooka-Laylee and how it defines Playtonic but we’d be lying if we said we haven’t always wanted to go back and do things a little differently.

What else are you guys working on?

As part of the Yooka-Replaylee announcement, we’ve alluded to the fact that we’ve taken learnings from our other projects. A lot of our founding team come from an era where games are ready when they’re ready, not tied to arbitrary deadlines. We have some cool things cooking up behind the scenes that we’ll show when they’re ready to show! Yook-an rest assured that this isn’t “it”!

Will original owners get a discount?

Yes! So far we've confirmed that anyone who owns the game on Steam will get a discount! Since we've announced the game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series consoles and... Nintendo platforms... we're also pleased to say we're working with platforms to ensure we can provide discounts to as many folks as possible across these platforms. We'll have more details, including the discount % as soon as we possibly can!

When can we expect Yooka-Replaylee?

We’re still in development and we still have fun features to add and talk about so we’re not ready to share a release date just yet!

What platforms is Yooka-Replaylee coming to?

Yooka-Replaylee will be coming to PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo platforms!

Hello Runners!

First of all, happy 80th Anniversary of D-Day!. We hope you will join us in the celebration of this day!

For this event, we're releasing a D-Day themed map for Edelweiss complete with various new vehicle assets for both Western Front and Pacific campaigns.
A good portion of the new content has been produced by community members - the D-Day map itself by NetherCrow and DiLing(YISIC), and the Churchill Mk VII and its Flamethrower variant by Anzac Joe.

We also feel it's necessary to mention that we were in a bit of a time-crunch to get this published for D-Day itself, so please bear with us if there are issues with its release, and be aware that we plan to set up a 'wave-defense' style scenario for the Wehrmacht, and to enable the map in Quickmatch at a later date.



On the Vanilla side of things, we also have some new content for you.
After 7 community boxes and 2 seasonal boxes (X-mas and Halloween), we thought that it'd be time for a new seasonal box to also celebrate the Summer. Thanks to the awesome community we put together not one but TWO SUMMER BOXES!!
The Summer box will be active throughout the entire Summer (until end of August) so that you'll have enough time to collect as many as possible!

Beside several new weapons, we also have 3 new vehicle drops and a lot of Summer goodies to fill your RP or to chill with online friends with an Iced Coffee on a sunlounger. For a entire list, check the change log below.



Special thanks in no particular order to Redfox, Axnone, TerranConfederacy and Return Dirt and all others involved!

And now ... drumroll... Some more drumroll

RWR2 is in development!

We're super excited to make it finally public that we're working on RWR2! RWR2 will be a whole lot different from RWR1, we've been experimenting with a lot of cool new stuff building up from where we got in RWR1 over the years. We made a quick video showcasing some of the changes, and will be dropping more videos and screen caps in the future.

• New world system: RWR on launch started with 10 maps (now 16 maps) à 1km², RWR2 will have 1 world with 25 km² area with no loading screens in between, hence 25 times bigger than a single RWR map.
  
• New factions: More varied factions with different agendas, some factions are allied against others. The player will be playing in various factions throughout the campaign ranging from civilians to resistance fighters to military.
  
• New objectives: The campaign has a larger variety of objectives and advancing further in the game isn't always about capturing zones.
  
• New building system: Some buildings feature interiors now, and some walls are destructible for entrance, and most walls feature damage effects.
  
• New health system: Actual health is in play now with self-healing, allowing player to spend time more surviving and less respawning.
  
• New camera control: The camera rotates now *shock*
  
• New stealth mechanics: High grass and foliage help staying unnoticed, there are lights to stay away from at night time. In certain circumstances, enemies don't recognize you as their enemy.
  
• New AI: Bots and commanders have learned plenty of new tricks, e.g. chasing, driving in a convoy, retreating, looting and moving items, and a whole lot of changes in combat. They handle new types of objectives and communicate their intent better to player. AI navigation has been pretty much rebuilt.
  
• New squad mechanics: Ability to handle squad equipment, give orders to individual squadmates where to move and look at, order to throw grenades and build deployments
  
• New vehicle types: Helicopters!
  
• More new stuff: aiming down sights, improved vehicle physics, vehicle trunks, shooting while driving, fall damage, incendiaries and fire, build actual gapless sandbag wall lines, wind effects, terrain modifications

We are currently in early pre-alpha stage so it's safe to say there will be a lot of changes as new things are being worked on. At this point it's too early to make estimates for when RWR2 will be released or when alpha or beta testing will begin, we'll know when the time is right.

Don't forget to join the community on the Running with Rifles Discord and we'd be more than happy if you could let us know if you like the game and the WW2 DLCs by leaving a review on Steam, as it helps us a lot!

Thank you and keep on Running,
your Osumia Games

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the demo for "There’s Something Wrong with…", scheduled to release on June 7th 2024.

This new horror adventure demo will be available at the upcoming Steam NEXT FEST in June.




"There’s Something Wrong with…" is a first-person horror experience set in enigmatic tunnels. As players navigate through dark passages, they will discover notes, interactive objects, unusual human remains and monstrous entity. During Steam’s Next Fest, players will have the opportunity to explore these environments, experience the gameplay mechanics, and encounter formidable foe...

So, stay tuned for more updates and prepare yourself for a creepy adventure. Mark your calendars for June 7th 2024 and get ready to dive into the world of "There’s Something Wrong with…" and during Steam’s NEXT FEST this June.



What could you find at the end of this tunnel? Because these tunnels are strange. Not always dark, but always concealing a secret or two. And the entity roaming through those mysterious halls... it is not just roaming... IT IS hunting.



The game does not feature a traditional inventory system. Instead, players utilize a special tool known as the Replicator. With the Replicator, players can duplicate specific elements of the environment and seamlessly paste them onto other unique areas. Well, as long as there is a source of a bright light covering an object(s).



The Monster, lurking in the shadows of mysterious tunnels, cannot be defeated, or even wounded. Direct confrontation is impossible, so players must rely solely on hiding tactics to survive.



The game demo features a checkpoint system, so if a player is discovered and devoured by an enemy, they will not have to start the entire game from the beginning.


So, who dares to find out what’s at the end of THIS TUNNEL?

Big thanks and all the best from the Gamenastica Studios team!

- Fixed a bug with Sig + Haircuts
- Added sound/sfx controls in pause menu
