Yooka-Replaylee Announced For Consoles

Yooka-Replaylee, the remaster of the 2017 platformer which was announced for PC some months back has also revealed yesterday that it will be coming to consoles. Yooka-Laylee from Playtonic games, a studio made of former Rare devs was envisioned as a spiritual successor to the Banjo-Kazooie franchise.

The game was widely anticipated as it was announced but garnered a more mixed reception when it launched as some felt it stuck to designs from a long gone era without modernizing them enough, although it still got a significant amount of praise for its visuals, soundtrack and respect for a genre that many game developers not named Nintendo had seemingly forgotten about.

On top of updates to the already impressive visuals, Yooka-Replaylee aims to update the controls, new challenges while also remixing various old challenges of the game( The infamous great rampo section of the game has been highlighted by many fans),add new mechanics and new customization options as well. Other changes include the addition of an in game map.

No release date has been set yet but Yooka-Replaylee is planned for launch on PC , PS5, Xbox series X/S and a more interesting tidbit. The game is simply said to launch on Nintendo but doesn’t state Nintendo switch specifically. Perhaps the game could launch around the time the successor to the switch releases which would be a big deal to have a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie be a launch title on a Nintendo platform.

A lifelong gamer who enjoys playing on every platform. Eventually, I grew to love fighting games in particular and began to compete and even win competitions for some games, primarily the 2013 revival of killer instinct. Outside of gaming I also have aspirations of being a comic book artist with a few ideas of my own im developing in my head. When reviewing any game I try to keep my mind open and avoid nitpicking too much. It takes a lot for something to detract me from truly enjoying it so I may not focus on smaller details the way some others might do. I enjoy almost any genre, just don't ask me to play horror games or puzzle games.
