Playtonic announced this week that, along with a PC release, Yooka-Replaylee will also be coming out on all three major consoles In case you haven't heard yet, this is basically a remaster of the 2017 title Yooka-Laylee, which is insane to think about because it still feels like that game is too fresh to get[...]
