Yooka-Replaylee Confirmed For Xbox Series X|S In All-New Console Trailer

It was announced a few months ago that the classic platformer Yooka-Laylee would be getting a remaster in the form of Yooka-Replaylee, and today it's been confirmed that it'll definitely be coming to Xbox Series X and Series S.

This version of the game will feature an "art and animations overhaul", improved performance and resolution, new and improved challenges, better camera controls, a new world map, tweaks to your move set, and much more.

"Yooka-Replaylee is the definitive remastered and enhanced version of the 3D indie platforming collectathon darling, Yooka-Laylee (2017), developed by key creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. New remixed challenges and old favourites await as you embark to explore the huge, beautiful open worlds as the lovable buddy-duo Yooka (the green one) and Laylee (the purple one) once more, all while backed by a beautiful orchestral soundtrack. Did we mention there is a map now? A shiny new currency? And tons of customisation options? The favourite buddy duo has never moved, looked, or sounded better!"

It's still early days for this remaster and we don't have a full release date just yet, but it looks like development is going well - and apparently there's going to be a playable demo of it at EGX in the UK this weekend.

In fact, we're going to let the cat out of the bag and reveal that we've been playing Yooka-Replaylee here at Pure Xbox over the past couple of weeks, and we've put together a comparison with the original that you can watch up above!

We'll throw the official "Console Announcement Trailer" down below as well:
