Playtonic Celebrates 5 Years of Yooka-Laylee, Teases Some “Surprises”

It’s been 5 whole years since Playtonic’s Yooka-Laylee launched (albeit Switch owners needed to wait a bit longer) and the publisher is looking to celebrate the milestone throughout the day, even teasing some “surprises”.

We’ll be sure to keep an eye on Playtonic’s feed and update on anything worthwhile, but we’re absolutely keeping our fingers crossed for some new gaming content: DLC for Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair? A brand new game entirely? Whatever it is, sign us up!

Although the original Yooka-Laylee received a fair bit of flack upon its release, we thought the game had been given a decent bit of TLC for its launch on Switch, awarding it an 8/10 in our review.

The Donkey Kong Country inspired spin-off faired even better, bagging a 9/10 for its visuals, gameplay, and sense of humour.

What do you hope to see from Playtonic today? Are you expecting a new game? Some spin-off content? NFTs..? Nah, they wouldn’t. Sound off in the comments below.
