Playtonic Games has released the E3 2016 trailer for its upcoming 3D platformer Yooka-Laylee, which will be showcased for the first time at the convention between June 14 and 16.
Yooka-Laylee stars the buddy duo Yooka and Layee, who use an arsenal of special moves to explore and expand 3D worlds filled with collectibles to find, secrets to unlock, and characters to meet.
Playtonic also announced a “firm release window” of Q1 2017 for Yooka-Laylee on consoles and PC, delaying it from its previously planned release in October.
“After a lot of soul searching and knowing through dialogue with our fans that they value quality and polish above all, we’ve made the difficult decision to lock the release of Yooka-Laylee to Q1 2017,” said Playtonic creative director and MD Gavin Price in a press release. “While we felt confident we could ship the game in October as originally planned, the team has decided that it would like to add a few extra months’ polish to our schedule. Ultimately, this will allow us to release a better game to the thousands of fans who’ve supported us throughout development.
“We’re sure some will be disappointed by the prospect of a few extra months’ wait, however the Playtonic team is confident that we’ve made the right decision for the game and that you’ll be pleased with the results when the game arrives early next year.”
