Playtonic Games, made up of the creative team behind Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country, have finally revealed their debut title Yooka-Laylee.
After Playtonic teased news of a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie for weeks, IGN has shared video footage of the game as well as details of the characters.
Yooka is the chameleon, Laylee the bat. Each have their own special abilities with Yooka being able to use it’s tongue as a grappling hook, and Laylee being able to fly for a short time and unleash a sonar blast.
The characters were designed by Steve Mayles, whose other characters include Banjo & Kazooie, as well as the modern Kong family.
Until now, Playtonic have been teasing the game under the codename Project Ukelele. The game will be part of a Kickstarter campaign starting today, and if funded will see a release on Wii U, as well as Windows, Mac, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
From Mario to Zelda, to Splatoon to Donkey Kong. Everything on Nintendo Music.
