Multiplayer revealed in new Yooka-Laylee trailer

Eight multiplayer games are coming to Yooka-Laylee and it reminds us of the greatness of Banjo-Kazooie.

Yooka-Laylee is one of our most anticipated games of the year. Growing up in the ’90s, almost everyone had a Nintendo 64. Along with the console came a handful of fantastic games from developer Rare.

Some of those games include Donkey Kong 64, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, and Banjo-Kazooie. This was the golden age of 3D plat-formers. Since then, there hasn’t been many notable games of this genre.

Since Microsoft purchased Rare, the company hasn’t created a good game and that’s the truth. Their best and most recent work was Rare Replay and this was just a collection of classic games. Thanks to Playtonic Games (team made up of former Rare staff), we’ll soon be returning to this.

In 2015, the company started a Kickstarter for their passion project, Yooka-Laylee. This is a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie and once you see gameplay, you see the resemblance. They surpassed their goals tremendously and here we are.

We’ve seen multiple clips of gameplay and the game looks spectacular. In the new trailer, a new multiplayer mode has been revealed, which brings us back to the good ol’ days of local, couch multiplayer.

Check it out below:

In Yooka-Laylee, we’ll be able to play in Rextro’s Radical Arcade. This is the mode where you’ll be able to play eight different games. From the trailer, everything looks like a ton of fun and we can’t wait to gather up four friends to play together.

From the trailer, there seems to be a variety of mini games that contain racing and puzzle elements. It definitely reminds us of Mario Party. Hopefully, it delivers that nostalgia that we haven’t felt from the Mario Party series in years.
