Playtonic Games has not only given fans who supported the game on Kickstarter some new gameplay footage in over a year, but has also announced that Yooka-Laylee will be delayed to a Q1 2017 release, from it’s original October release.
“While we felt confident we could ship the game in October as originally projected in our Kickstarter, the Playtonic team has decided that it would prefer to add a few extra months’ polish to the game schedule.”
“Ultimately, this will allow us to deliver a better game to the tens-of-thousands of you who’ve supported us throughout development. And that’s what we all want, right?”
“We’re sure some will be disappointed by the prospect of a few extra months’ wait, however the team is confident that we’ve made the right decision for the game and that you’ll be pleased with the results when Yooka-Laylee arrives early next year.”
Yooka-Laylee is set for a Q1 release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, and PC.
