Formerly known as Project Ukulele, Yooka-Laylee is the first game from Playtonic Games, a new studio formed by several veterans of acclaimed developer Rare. It's considered a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie.
Yooka-Laylee is expected to be released by October 2016 on PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U. Katie Williams is a freelance writer and journalist. She tweets at @desensitisation and hopes that one day, a bird will tweet back.
