Playtonic, manager of Yooka-Laylee, reinvents himself in 2021

Maybe the saga Yooka-Laylee of Playtonic is not one of the great references of the genre of platforms. Even so, without being a legendary classic, has conquered a multitude of actors over the years. Many fans have already enjoyed its first solid offering, which was followed by a remarkable side-scrolling platformer. Unsurprisingly, many of his fans are focused on Playtonic, eagerly awaiting the next move.

A 180 ° turn

Everything seems to indicate that the next Playtonic will not be exactly the announcement of a video game, but rather the change of study name

. According to user Logan Meyer (@ LogMey92 on Twitter), the independent study reportedly informed its Kickstarter sponsors of the rebranding. Meyer himself shows this in one of his tweets.

Playtonic is teasing a new branding among other exciting things. They’ve always been a logical acquisition target for Xbox, maybe they’re finally joining now (after all the rumors and denial of last year). Who better than them to craft a new Banjo ?!

Interestingly, Playtonic argues that “There is a good reason”

for this change. And while that’s all they’ve commented on on the subject so far, they’ve promised that “Everything will be revealed soon”. Although there is no confirmation, the more optimistic might think that the aim of the study is to enter fully into a new Banjoo-Kazooie. Many fans consider Playtonic to be an ideal studio to carry out such a task. Even like that, the creatives themselves assured at the beginning of the year that this was not the case .

What is clear is that sooner or later we will have news about this unexpected change from Playtonic. Will it be a new one Yooka-Laylee? Maybe a new IP ?, we’ll find out soon, so stay tuned to our website for the news.
