    Yooka-Replaylee's release date has been set for October 9, 2025. This is the news today out of The MIX Fall Games Showcase where Platonic and PM Studios revealed the date for eager fans.

    No only will Yooka-Replaylee release on October 9th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, but it is now also confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2. This self-described "love letter to golden age collectathon platformers" will be available digitally for $29.99. Furthermore, if you already own the original Yooka-Laylee you will get an extra 30% off when purchasing Yooka-Replaylee on the same platform family.

    A physical release is also planned. This physical release will cost $49.99, with pre-orders live right now. The physical release does include various extras that you won't get anywhere else. You can pre-order this physical edition from places such as Amazon, Video Games Plus (Canada), and PNP Games. They also note that if you get the physical version for the Switch 2, the full game is on the cartridge and it isn't a key-card thing.

    News of the release date comes along with a new release date trailer for those of you who are visual learners.

    More about Yooka-Replaylee
    Yooka-Replaylee is the definitive remade and enhanced version of the 3D indie platforming collectathon darling, Yooka-Laylee, developed by key creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. New remixed challenges and old favorites await as you embark to explore the huge, beautiful open worlds as the lovable buddy duo Yooka and Laylee once more, all while backed by a beautiful orchestral soundtrack. Did we mention there’s an even more expandable map now? A shiny new currency? And tons of customization options? The favorite buddy duo has never moved, looked, or sounded better!

    Key Features:
    • Refined Story: The events of the first game are relived and retold by the main characters, Yooka and Laylee. New sequences and plot points have been added throughout the adventure at key milestones, too.
    • Upgraded Graphics: With an art and animations overhaul and enhanced performance and resolution, the favorite buddy duo has never looked or moved better.
    • Brand New 'Rextro’s Arcade': The old minigames are no more! Instead you'll jump into the feet of Rextro the dinosaur and undertake brand-new isometric platforming challenges for collectible rewards.
    • New Collectible Currency: Capital B's inept minions have dropped their hard-earned coins all over the place. Collect the official currency of the Hivory Towers to spend on video games' most beloved sentient vending machine.
    • Build Your Own Playstyle: Tonics are back with all new flavors! With the option to equip multiple game-changing enhancements, you can truly customize your playstyle. And as if that wasn't enough, Vendi has new lines of merchandise for the modern fashionable adventurer.
    • Navigate the World Easily: Yooka-Replaylee introduces a brand-new map and collectibles tracker, making it easier for you to traverse the environments, track NPC and Pagie locations, along with tracking their progress. We're also introducing a new character, (book)Mark, who acts as your warp point and guide.
    • Revamped Controls and Camera: The buddy-duo now has access to their entire move set from the start of the game and can sequence the moves together a lot smoother than in the original game. This, combined with the revamped camera controls, makes Yooka-Replaylee feel like a more modern, snappier experience, while also directly addressing player feedback on the original game.
    • Dreamy Orchestral Soundtrack: The original score from famed video game composers Grant Kirkhope (Banjo-Kazooie) and David Wise (Donkey Kong Country) returns, but as a beautifully arranged orchestral score. Now, seriously, clean out those ears!​

      You've got to applaud their enthusiasm. They keep pushing their way overrated game time and again. I was an original Kickstarter backer but totally underwhelmed by it vs Banjo-Kazooie.
