Playtonic have announced today that Yooka-Replaylee will be releasing on October 9th.

The long-awaited remake of the indie 3D platforming collectathon will be launching on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2. Yooka-Replaylee is a remade and enhanced version of the 3D indie platforming collectathon, Yooka-Laylee, developed by creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. New remixed challenges and old favorites await as you embark to explore the huge, beautiful open worlds as the lovable buddy-duo Yooka and Laylee once more, all while backed by a beautiful orchestral soundtrack.

Key Features:

Refined Story – The events of the first game are relived and retold by the main characters, Yooka and Laylee. New sequences and plot points have been added throughout the adventure at key milestones too.
Enhanced Visuals – With an art and animations overhaul and enhanced performance and resolution, Yooka and Laylee look better than ever
New Rextro’s Arcade Mode – The old minigames are gone, and instead you’ll jump into the feet of Rextro the dinosaur and undertake brand-new isometric platforming challenges for collectible rewards.
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.
New Tonics – Tonics are back with all new flavours. With the option to equip multiple game-changing enhancements, you can truly customize your playstyle.
Improved Navigation – Yooka-Replaylee introduces a brand-new map and collectibles tracker, making it easier for you to traverse the environments, track NPC and Pagie locations along with tracking their progress.
Updated Camera and Controls – The buddy-duo now has access to their entire move set from the start of the game and can sequence the moves together a lot smoother than in the original game. This combined with the revamped camera controls makes Yooka-Replaylee feel like a lot more modern, snappier experience while also directly addressing player feedback on the original game.
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.
