Yooka-Laylee released 8 years ago as of this year, back when the Nintendo Switch was just released. Coincidentally a remastered and enhanced version of the game, Yooka Replaylee, will be launching during the first year of the Switch successor console’s availability. It is releasing on the PlayStation 5, PC and Xbox Series X/S as well, but it coming to the Switch 2 has notably made Yooka-Replaylee one of the first Switch 2 games announced that is not a first-party title from Nintendo.
That said, the game hasn’t had a lot of news since October of last year. Today’s Kinda Funny Showcase, however, changed that. A new trailer featuring an explanation and showcase of the game’s gameplay was revealed. The game is still slated for a 2025 release, so no specific release date has been given yet. Nevertheless, you can see the new trailer down below.
I’m guessing it will be running at 480p on the outdated switch 2 hardware that PC is currently crushing?
what kind of PC you using?
Correct.

Just a reminder to everyone to not feed the trolls, just ignore them and eventually they’ll get bored and leave :)
For the same five worlds, I’ll wait for a sale.
I already did all of this back in 2018.
Although there is no specific release date, what has been introduced makes me believe that this will be an interesting experience and worth the wait.
This game looks cute like Geometry Dash.
I just finished exploring Dandadan manga online and it’s fantastic. The story mixes supernatural thrills with clever humor, and the characters are surprisingly deep and memorable. Every chapter keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Goodnight Punpun manga online is unlike anything I’ve read before. Its combination of melancholy, striking art, and honest storytelling is remarkable.
I enjoy how Monkey Mart Unblocked does not require a lot of time commitment. You can play for a few minutes and still make noticeable progress.
I love how Run 3 Unblocked lets you unlock different characters as you progress.
Ragdoll Hit Unblocked has such a unique charm that keeps players engaged, mainly because of its funny and unpredictable gameplay style.
The graphics in Basketball Stars Unblocked are clean and colorful, which adds to the overall fun experience of the game.
The new Yooka-Replaylee trailer looks absolutely charming! As someone who grew up on Rare’s N64 classics, seeing Playtonic continue to evolve the 3D platformer formula while honoring that legacy is genuinely exciting. The expanded moveset and the replay mechanics that let you revisit levels with new abilities really addresses the backtracking fatigue that plagued the original Yooka-Laylee. The art style has come such a long way too — much more polished and cohesive than the first game.
On a slightly different note, my kids have been obsessed with this browser-based football game called Head Football while we wait for the Yooka-Replaylee release. It’s cartoonish, no violence, runs on any device without downloads, and the matches are short enough that I don’t have to pry them away when it’s time for homework or dinner. I’ve actually started using it as a reward for finishing chores — the competitive element keeps them engaged without the usual screen time battles. The oversized heads and ridiculous power-ups are genuinely hilarious too, very much in the same playful spirit as Yooka-Laylee’s humor.
Any word on whether this will support local co-op on Switch? That’s the make-or-break feature for our family game nights.
Counting down the days — thanks for the coverage!
