Yooka-Replaylee FAQ

[Playtonic Steve]

Hey folks!

We've put together a quick FAQ to cover some of the frequently asked questions about Yooka-Replaylee! Check it out below to see if YOUR frequently asked question has an answer!

We'll also be doing a dev Q&A soon to discuss more about the game so stay tuned for that!

What is Yooka-Replaylee? Is this a remaster?

Yooka-Replaylee is the culmination of almost 10 years of experience since we founded Playtonic way way back in 2015! We’ve taken on board all the community feedback as well as channelling everything we’ve learned while working on other projects to make this the definitive version of Yooka-Laylee. It’s more than a remaster! Find out more on the store page.

Why now?

Well, we’re approaching our 10th Birthday as a studio and as we’ve grown and learned, we’ve always wanted to revisit the game that started it all and what better way to celebrate reaching 10 years?! That’s no easy feat in the current games landscape! We’re incredibly proud of Yooka-Laylee and how it defines Playtonic but we’d be lying if we said we haven’t always wanted to go back and do things a little differently.

What else are you guys working on?

As part of the Yooka-Replaylee announcement, we’ve alluded to the fact that we’ve taken learnings from our other projects. A lot of our founding team come from an era where games are ready when they’re ready, not tied to arbitrary deadlines. We have some cool things cooking up behind the scenes that we’ll show when they’re ready to show! Yook-an rest assured that this isn’t “it”!

When can we expect Yooka-Replaylee?

We’re still in development and we still have fun features to add and talk about so we’re not ready to share a release date just yet!

What platforms is Yooka-Replaylee coming to?

So far, we’ve announced Yooka-Replaylee is coming to PC! We’ll have more news about any console plans later.

Any discount for original Yooka-Laylee owners?

Yes! So far we've confirmed Steam owners of YL will receive a discount on Yooka-Replaylee! We'll have more news soon!

How much will it cost though? Is there a discount for owners of the original?

[Storm User #BringBackQuickplay]

What justifies buying the same game again? I don't see much justification.

What other changes are you adding?

[⎛⎝RabeDennis⎠⎞]

If I were to compare it, it would be with the San Andreas original to the Definitive Edition.

Its feel like the entire art style got verschlimmbessern (make something worse with so-called corrections)

I have two things I don't like: first, the rim lighting on the characters, it's too much and makes them really plastic and bright in some scenes, and second, the new lighting (sunbeams and co) looks like everything is dipped in milk.

is this full price for previous owners or is there a discount

[FamilyGuy0395]

I really hope this means we're eventually getting a **3D** sequel to Yooka-Laylee.

[Tom (68inchPianist)]

The fact that you haven't mentioned a price point or discount for people who already own the game tells me that you know we're not going to like the answers.

[johnnypearl]

I hope it's free for anyone who owns the original.

The original came to macOS. Is this also coming to macOS? Would be great, especially with the surge in macOS gaming and limited amount of platformers available – you'd no doubt get some decent exposure. Thanks.

[Sonkilary]

is there a discount for Original OWners ?
will be fully SteamWorks Windows MAC Linux and all Consoles ?

Please add more translations like Arabic thank you.

I undestand you were crystal clear regarding things still being cooked, but consider this... The launch of Replaylee would be a perfect moment and showcase to announce Yooka-Tooie.

Just think about it ok guys
Even if just a jpeg, just consider it :)

[Magmarock]
