The release date of Yooka-Laylee, Playtonic’s highly anticipated spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie, may have today been leaked by Amazon’s German arm.
The retailer’s pre-order listing for the title was updated earlier to include a release date of March 14, 2017, which would line up with publisher Team 17’s previously announced launch window of Q1 2017.
Power Up Gaming recently had the opportunity to get hands-on with the 3D platformer at EGX 2016, where we described the demo level we played as a “joyous experience”.
Playtonic Games is made up of a number of former Rare employees, many of whom worked on the original Banjo-Kazooie as well as classic titles such as Donkey Kong Country and GoldenEye 007.
