Yooka-Replaylee will launch on October 9 at $29.99, British developer Playtonic has announced. Some fans will even be able to buy Yooka-Replaylee at a discounted price on release day—and beyond.
Yooka-Laylee is a 2017 indie platformer that generated significant pre-release buzz from being made by several Rare veterans who previously worked on the Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie games, among other beloved titles. It debuted to mixed reviews, as underlined by its "Fair" rating on OpenCritic, with an average score of 72 and a 57% reviewer recommendation rate. During the June 2024 Guerrilla Collective showcase, Playtonic announced a remaster of Yooka-Laylee called Yooka-Replaylee.
More than a year later, the British studio has locked in the game's availability details, revealing that Yooka-Replaylee is scheduled for an October 9 release on PC and current-generation consoles from Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft. The digital version of the platformer will launch at $29.99, while its physical counterpart will retail for $49.99. As previously announced, the upcoming release has been envisioned as the ultimate edition of the game, to the point that Yooka-Replaylee will even include the original's Shovel Knight crossover.
