Brand New Interviews with Playtonic’s Grant Kirkhope and Steve Mayles have been released! Yooka-Laylee was present at e3 2016 and tiny snippets of footage were shown during Microsoft and Sony’s Press Conference. 

Yooka-Laylee has had a very successful kickstarter, with up to 80 000 backers! This game, known as Banjo-Kazooie’s spiritual successor, really is a great example of what classic 3D platformers could look like today. Banjo-Kazooie’s music composer Grant Kirkhope brings back the music we all loved back in the day. 

It is confirmed that Yooka-Laylee will have five expandable worlds. Although it sounds too little for some fans, Steve Mayles explained during the GameXplain that the worlds, once fully expanded, will overwhelm players. So, fans should expect a pretty good amount of gameplay. 

Worlds that have been revealed so far are Tribalstack Tropics, the Icy World, Shipwreck Creek and Hivory Towers. Everything has been mentioned in PC Gamer, Xbox magazine and PlayStation magazine. 

Yooka-Laylee will have eight local multiplayer arcade gameplay according to Playtonic Games.
