Have a pumpkin spice latte today in the memory of the Pumpkin Spice Laylee that never made it into Yooka-Replaylee 🙁☕️

A mock-up of what a Yooka-Laylee Halloween cosmetic could look like. Yooka is dressed up as a skeleton with shiny green eyes whilst Laylee's look is inspired by pumpkin spice.

Can’t bee-lieve how they’re so angry but so cute 🐝

What's been your favourite new enemy type in Yooka-Replaylee so far? My vote has to go to Bizzy Bees with their little pouty faces.

Here's some early concept art of the bee enemy from our incredibly talented Concept Artist, Phoebe! All the loading screens you'll have seen are her work too!

Concept art for the Bizzy Bee enemy in Yooka-Replaylee. The biggest sketches show a big fluffy bee with wings and different coloured ties while the smaller sketches show different variations with different wing sizes and shapes and even completely different styles, for example what a completely robotic Bizzy Bee would look like.

If you're craving a retro 2D adventure while you wait for Mina the Hollower's amazingness, might we recommend Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo? @pockettrap.bsky.social

Yooka & Laylee got a glow-up, so of course, the soundtrack had to as well. 🎶 Brand-new tracks + fully orchestrated classics from Wise, Kirkhope, Burke, Murdoch & Griffin — with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra bringing it all to life. Turn it up! 🔊

Yooka-Replaylee launches October 9th.
