  • Yooka-Laylee is shaping up nicely, despite a delay until next year

    First off, the bad news: Yooka-Laylee will no longer launch this year. Instead of an October release, British developer Playtonic has rescheduled its love letter to classic Rare platformers for arrival in Q1 2017 - in other words, sometime between the beginning of January and the end of March.
    The delay was only finalised in the last fortnight or so, Playtonic explained to Eurogamer at a preview event last week. The extra development time comes from a desire to buff the game further, I was told, but the October date could still have been hit. It's a shame, but after waiting a decade for a proper old-school Rare-style platformer, a few months longer can't hurt.
    Onto the good news, then. Yooka-Laylee looks fantastic. Playtonic released a bunch of screenshots last week which showed how finished the game already looks. It's just as pretty in motion.
