Yooka-Replaylee Available Now on PC and Consoles
Through the clinking of glasses and final frantic taps of the keyboard, developer Playtonic and publisher PM Studios are ecstatic to announce that Yooka-Replaylee has launched globally on Steam, PlayStation(R) 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch(™) 2!
The long-awaited open world 3D platforming epic and a reimagining of the beloved indie darling Yooka-Laylee (2017) is available on all platforms priced at £24.99 / 28,99€ / $29.99 SRP with a -10% launch discount to new players.
Owners of Yooka-Laylee will be able to enjoy an automatic 30% discount upon purchasing a digital copy of Yooka-Replaylee within the same ecosystem they own Yooka-Laylee on (e.g., Steam, Nintendo Switch => Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4 => PlayStation 5, Xbox One => Xbox Series X/S where applicable*).
The physical edition will be launching just in time for the holidays on December 18th and retailing for $49.99 USD or your local equivalent. This physical edition will make a fine addition to your or loved one's Christmas stocking this year as it comes with not only the game on a platform of your choosing but also bonus map and sticker sheet.
“We wanted to return to where it all began for Yooka and Laylee, but not just give players a shinier coat of paint.” stated Gavin Price, Studio Director, Playtonic. “Yooka-Replaylee is a fresh experience-every mechanic, world, and encounter has been redesigned to deliver something surprising or new. If you played the original, this will feel familiar yet surprising. And if you didn’t, well, it’s the perfect time to jump in.”
"Today is a great day - we finally get to celebrate Yooka-Replaylee with the world, alongside Playtonic, the team whose legacy helped define this genre." said Michael Yum, CEO, PM Studios. "This launch is about more than a game - it’s about giving players everywhere the chance to rediscover the joy of platforming, whether they grew up with it or experiencing it for the first time. Bringing it to life across all platforms, with both digital and physical editions, is something we’re incredibly proud of, and it speaks to our commitment to championing great games for every generation."
