Yooka-Laylee<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>arrived back in April across PC and various systems, but it’s had a longer route to Nintendo hardware. The Wii U version somewhat predictably bit the dust, and since then it’s been a wait for the title to make its way to the Switch.<\/p>\n

Playtonic has given various updates, and its latest includes a new GIF of gameplay<\/a> and assurances that progress is being made. A transition to an updated version of Unity is cited as causing some hiccups, with the goal still being to clear outstanding issues and get the game submitted to Nintendo.<\/p>\n

\n

The Playtonic team has been working tirelessly to bring Yooka-Laylee to Nintendo Switch and we\u2019re very nearly there (we promise!) However, we\u2019ve encountered some final technical hurdles and had been waiting for the arrival of Unity 5.6 in order to fix them. Although this has now been released, it has unfortunately introduced other issues which we are working with Unity to resolve before we can submit to Nintendo and lock in our release timeline.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

We understand the frustration that it\u2019s taken so long to get the game in your hands but we hope that you understand that we\u2019re working as fast as we can and want the game to perform as well as it possibly can on Switch. Once these remaining issues are resolved we hope to finally be able to commit to and share a launch date. Thanks as ever for your patience and please bear with us \u2013 we are getting there!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here’s hoping that the final steps go smoothly for the Playtonic team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
