Playtonic is known for Yooka-Laylee and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair! Both titles are available across PC, PS4, Xbox, and Switch. Their first title, Yooka-Laylee, was introduced as a spiritual successor to the beloved Banjo-Kazooie, with many original staff members coming back to work on the title. Their second title, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, saw the return of Yooka and Laylee in 2D platforming versus the prior 3D platformer, Yooka-Laylee.
Yooka-Laylee was released on April 11, 2017 following a successful Kickstarter campaign, and was later released on the Nintendo Switch on December 14th, 2017. Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair was released across all platforms on October 8th, 2019.
