Playtonic Games Presents Yooka-Replaylee Extended Gameplay Featurette
Remastered, remade, remixed, this is the definitive version of Yooka-Laylee! With shiny, new 4K graphics and visual effects, a brand-new control scheme, entirely new moves and the ability to swiftly chain moves together, it's a quicker, slicker platforming experience. Yooka-Replaylee builds on our nearing 10 years of growth and experience since making Yooka-Laylee, as well as taking on board a whole bunch of community feedback over the years. It's jam-packed with brand new content that we think platforming fans new and old will love! Each world in Yooka-Replaylee has been expanded by default, no longer requiring players to do that themselves, giving us the opportunity to fill each world with new challenges, new collectibles, and new THINGS added to every corner!
Quills!
Quills have new purpose in Yooka-Replaylee! Now, each world has its own Quill colour, and with all of Yooka & Laylee's abilities now unlocked from the start, Trowzer has had to up his game and provide some new goodies! Quills can be traded to Trowzer for things like level exclusive cosmetic items and health/energy upgrades!
Hey folks! Yooka-Replaylee is shaping up to be a beautiful, joyful love letter to the 3D platforming genre. Don't just take my word for it, watch this video and... well, I narrated it, so take my word for it...
Pagies!
Pagies are your pathway to new worlds! And there's new exciting ways to collect them in each world too! Pagies will give you the option to unlock new worlds when you gather enough of them, so make sure you're checking every nook and cranny for a potential Pagie challenge!
Q.U.I.D.S!
And while we're on the subject of challenges! Coinelius is the new ghostly piggy bank character that offers a variety of opportunities to perform platforming prowess in exchange Q.U.I.D.S! These shiny golden coins are dotted around every level, the more you save up, the more you can spend at Vendi! Vendi has a whoooole bunch of Tonics for sale, ranging from cosmetics, to cool new screen visual effects, new abilities like coin magnetization, gameplay modifiers if you fancy more of a challenge and even things like a super hero landing for Yooka! You can mix and match these Tonics to create your own platforming playstyle!
There's some other colors of Q.U.I.D.S challenges spread across each world too! Look out for Red and Green coins to see what they throw at you! We're really excited about Q.U.I.D.S! They may look like simple, static coins floating in the world, but keep an eye on them because there may be a few to throw you off... Okay, there definitely is... look out for Q.U.I.D.S that avoid you, chase you, and more!
This is just a small handful of the changes we've made, we've also recently announced that Rextro has got entirely new Rextro's Arcade levels! It's safe to say there's really no area of the game we haven't looked at through a fresh lens to try and improve things! Yooka-Replaylee is our love letter TO our love letter to classic 3D platformers, and we know you're gonna love it! Stay tuned for a 2025 release date!
