It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard anything from the development team at Playtonic Games for Yooka-Laylee on Nintendo Switch.
Earlier today, Playtonic Games issued an update as to why the game hasn’t received an official release date and explains the current technical hurdles they’re facing with the arrival of Unity 5.6.
As mentioned on their blog post, the team is working hard to resolve final technical issues before submitting the game to Nintendo.
The Playtonic team has been working tirelessly to bring Yooka-Laylee to Nintendo Switch and we’re very nearly there (we promise!) However, we’ve 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.
We understand the frustration that it’s taken so long to get the game in your hands but we hope that you understand that we’re 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 – we are getting there!

It’s been a while since we’ve received an update, however it is definitely great news to hear the game is now within its final stages of development and is being polished to ensure smooth gameplay once it’s officially available on Nintendo Switch.
