Previous working title Project Ukulele, the new 3D platformer is from the creative team behind Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country, is the spiritual successor to the Banjo-Kazooie series.
The title characters are Yooka, a chameleon whose tongue can be used to grapple on to items, and Laylee, a bat who can carry Yooka through the air for a short period and also fire sonic blasts. Both were designed by Steve Mayles, who designed Banjo, Kazooie, and the modern Kong family while at Rare, Ltd.
Yooka-Laylee's creators, Playtonic Games (a studio of ex-Rare developers), will launch a Kickstarter for the game tomorrow (May 1). Backers who put £10 GBP or $15 USD will receive a copy of the game upon release. Other rewards include soundtracks, art books, and a “64-bit" game mode. It has also been revealed that Playtonic Games is planning to give Yooka-Laylee a Wii U release.
If funded, Yooka-Laylee will be released on Windows, Mac, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U. The exact timing of each version is contingent upon the success of the Kickstarter campaign and its stretch goals.
