Yooka-Laylee to Launch on April 17th

Team17 and Playtonic Games announced today that Yooka-Laylee will launch on April 11th for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The game is now available to pre-order at $39.99 for non-Kickstarter backers in both digital and physical formats from participating stores. Kickstarter backers will soon have the option to upgrade to a physical version if they choose. The pre-order offer includes an instant unlock to the Yooka-Laylee Toybox which gives a taste of the platforming mechanics set to appear in the full game in a self-contained, spoiler free sandbox experience.

Playtonic has also provided an update on the Wii U version of Yooka-Laylee, confirming that development is looking to transfer to the upcoming Nintendo Switch platform. Any backers who pledged for the Wii U version will be able to move their pledge to any of the versions launching on April 11th or upgrade to the Nintendo Switch version.

Playtonic and Team17 also revealed today a brand-new world for the tail-twirling buddy-duo to explore: Capital Cashino. Check out the trailer.
