Yooka-Laylee Delayed to 2017

Everyone was excited for Playtonic Games upcoming platformer Yooka-Laylee which borrows heavily from classic Rare titles. Unfortunately, it looks like we will not get our hands on it until the first quarter of 2017. Hopefully, the delay is completely worth it!

Here is a note from Gavin Price from Playtonic Games:

After a lot of soul searching and knowing through dialogue with our fans that they value quality and polish above all, we’ve made the difficult decision to lock the release of Yooka-Laylee to Q1 2017,

While we felt confident we could ship the game in October as originally planned, the team has decided that it would like to add a few extra months’ polish to our schedule. Ultimately, this will allow us to release a better game to the thousands of fans who’ve supported us throughout development.

We’re sure some will be disappointed by the prospect of a few extra months’ wait, however the Playtonic team is confident that we’ve made the right decision for the game and that you’ll be pleased with the results when the game arrives early next year.

We will continue to update this title as new information becomes available.
