Yooka-Laylee Developer Hints at Switch 2 Remaster Launch

Oct 24, 2024 2:24 PM

Yooka-Replaylee, the remastered version of the beloved 2017 game Yooka-Laylee, is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and intriguingly, “Nintendo platforms.” This suggests compatibility with the upcoming Switch 2, which Nintendo has yet to officially announce. The excitement around the Switch 2 is growing, as developers like Pathea Games are also planning to release games on this unconfirmed console. The latest teaser trailer for Yooka-Replaylee features the Nintendo logo prominently, indicating strong intentions for a Switch 2 release. However, no specific release date has been disclosed. Nintendo has indicated the Switch 2 is not expected to release until after March 31, 2025. Additionally, it aims to have adequate stock available to mitigate scalping.

Will Yooka-Replaylee be available on the Switch 2?

Yes, Yooka-Replaylee will be available on the Switch 2, as developer Playtonic has teased its release for Nintendo's future platforms, although no official details have been provided yet.

Yooka-Laylee originally launched as a spiritual successor to Rare's classics Banjo-Kazooie, capturing the charm of platformers from the late '90s. The game received mixed reviews but garnered a dedicated fanbase excited for this remaster. The anticipation surrounding the Switch 2 adds to the excitement for both the new console and the returning adventures of Yooka and Laylee.
