Playtonic Games, et studie der er skabt af tidligere Rare-udviklere, har løftet sløret for deres Kickstarter-kampagne for Yooka-Laylee, den spirituelle efterfølger til deres mest ikoniske skabning, Banjo-Kazooie. De beskriver projektet således:
Our new heroes, Yooka (the green bloke with no pants) and Laylee (the wisecracking lady-bat with the big nose) were conceptualised from the ground up for stellar platforming gameplay, created by the same character artist behind the rebooted Donkey Kong family and legendary N64 heroes Banjo and Kazooie.
Using an arsenal of special moves like Yooka's tongue grapple and Laylee's tactical sonar blast, players will explore - and expand - gorgeous 3D worlds drawn up by esteemed environment artist Steven Hurst (Banjo-Kazooie series, Viva Pinata) and through skill discover the plethora of delicious collectibles hidden within.
Kampagnen går rigtig... rigtig godt, og på mindre end 24 timer, har de næsten ramt alle deres stretch-mål. Når (hvis ikke hvornår) de rammer 10 millioner kroner, lover de en samtidig udgivelse på PC, Xbox One, PS4 og Wii U i oktober 2016.
