On Monday, Platonic Games officially confirmed that its Kickstarter success Yooka-Laylee is set to be released in the first quarter of 2017.
Yooka-Laylee is an all-new 3D platforming adventure for consoles and PC. During its run on the crowdfunding giant’s platform, the video game successfully captured £2,090,104 from 73,206 backers. Platonic Games announced in an update that while they were extremely confident in shipping Yooka Laylee to backers this upcoming October (the original release date), they also decided to devote a little extra time to make the highly anticipated video game everything that backers hope it will be.
“Ultimately, this will allow us to deliver a better game to the tens-of-thousands of you who’ve supported us throughout the development. And that’s what we all want, right?”
The studio then noted that it completely understands that some backers are definitely going to be disappointed but the game’s team believes this is the right decision and will have everything all together next year. The game will be released on PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, Windows PC, Mac and Linux.
Platonic Games also released the game’s trailer. Check it out below.
