More about Yooka-Replaylee

Yooka-Replaylee is the definitive remade and enhanced version of the 3D indie platforming collectathon darling, Yooka-Laylee, developed by key creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. New remixed challenges and old favorites await as you embark to explore the huge, beautiful open worlds as the lovable buddy duo Yooka and Laylee once more, all while backed by a beautiful orchestral soundtrack. Did we mention there’s an even more expandable map now? A shiny new currency? And tons of customization options? The favorite buddy duo has never moved, looked, or sounded better!

Key Features:

  • Refined Story: The events of the first game are relived and retold by the main characters, Yooka and Laylee. New sequences and plot points have been added throughout the adventure at key milestones, too.
  • Upgraded Graphics: With an art and animations overhaul and enhanced performance and resolution, the favorite buddy duo has never looked or moved better.
  • Brand New ‘Rextro’s Arcade’: The old minigames are no more! Instead you’ll jump into the feet of Rextro the dinosaur and undertake brand-new isometric platforming challenges for collectible rewards.
  • New Collectible Currency: Capital B’s inept minions have dropped their hard-earned coins all over the place. Collect the official currency of the Hivory Towers to spend on video games’ most beloved sentient vending machine.
  • Build Your Own Playstyle: Tonics are back with all new flavors! With the option to equip multiple game-changing enhancements, you can truly customize your playstyle. And as if that wasn’t enough, Vendi has new lines of merchandise for the modern fashionable adventurer.
  • Navigate the World Easily: Yooka-Replaylee introduces a brand-new map and collectibles tracker, making it easier for you to traverse the environments, track NPC and Pagie locations, along with tracking their progress. We’re also introducing a new character, (book)Mark, who acts as your warp point and guide.
  • Revamped Controls and Camera: The buddy-duo now has access to their entire move set from the start of the game and can sequence the moves together a lot smoother than in the original game. This, combined with the revamped camera controls, makes Yooka-Replaylee feel like a more modern, snappier experience, while also directly addressing player feedback on the original game.
  • Dreamy Orchestral Soundtrack: The original score from famed video game composers Grant Kirkhope (Banjo-Kazooie) and David Wise (Donkey Kong Country) returns, but as a beautifully arranged orchestral score. Now, seriously, clean out those ears!

Revenge is a Dish Best Served with an Arsenal of Weapons!  New Trailer Revealed for Retro Shooter Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation

Macclesfield, UK – 29th August, 2025. Publisher Silver Lining Interactive and developer Ciaran Games LLC have hoisted the black flag and revealed a wickedly brutal new weapons trailer for upcoming PC retro shooter Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation during The MIX Fall Showcase.

Coming to PC via Steam later this year, this gloriously gory, hand-drawn tale of revenge and mayhem delivers old-school shooter carnage with a swashbuckling, twin-barreled twist. In his quest for vengeance against the ruthless mercenary gang known as the “Killer Whales,” Captain Wayne is packing an arsenal of destruction that’d make even the saltiest sea dog tremble.

Fueled by the red mist of revenge, Wayne is ready to turn Orca Isle into a blood-soaked battlefield. From chain-gun fingers to explosive Boom Brew, from fruity-but-fatal coconuts and watermelons to the Captain’s own bone-breaking fists, this is one vacation that comes with no return ticket. And if all else fails, there’s always the Captain’s twin-barrel “Ol’ Reliable” shotgun arm (bolted on after a deadly dance with the fabled Vampire Whale), guaranteed to blast enemies into red mist faster than you can say “yo-ho-ho.”

A Tide-Turning Crusade Across the Seven-and-a-Half Seas!

Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation is a retro inspired, fast-action, blood-drenched FPS where you play as the cigar-chomping, rum-fueled scourge of the seas himself. Stranded on Orca Isle after a brutal ambush, Wayne sets out to reclaim his stolen ship and exact merciless payback on the infamous gang, The Killer Whales.

Key Features:

  • A brutal, stylized cartoon gore-fest, because who said bloodshed can’t be beautiful?
  • 8 massive, enemy-packed areas across treacherous Orca Isle.
  • An arsenal of over-the-top weapons designed for maximum, messy destruction.
  • A relentlessly chaotic soundtrack, louder than a broadside cannon blast.
  • Hand-drawn, fully-voiced cinematics that bring Wayne’s unhinged quest for vengeance to life.

Endless Blood, Endless Plunder!

Wayne’s voyage doesn’t stop at the campaign. A freshly-updated Endless Demo is available now on Steam for freebooters ready to test their mettle. Endless Mode brings six playable maps into the mix, three unlocked from the get-go, and three more waiting to be earned through carnage, grit, or sheer dumb luck.

So sharpen your harpoons, grab your boom stick, and prepare for a massacre of epic proportions. These Killer Whale scumbags aren’t going to explode into chum on their own.

Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation docks on Steam later this year. Until then, keep your powder dry, your rum strong, and your enemies in tiny, bloody pieces. Oh and add to your Wishlist – Captain’s orders!

Chasm Developer Bit Kid Unveils New Trailer for Sci-Fi WW2 Metroidvania WOLFHOUND

New enemies, areas, and weapons featured in an explosive new look at the retro platformer

Maryland, USA – Aug. 29, 2025 – WOLFHOUND, the sci-fi World War II Metroidvania from Chasm developer Bit Kid, takes the fight to Axis abominations in a new trailer revealed at The MIX Fall Games Showcase, ahead of a 2026 release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam for PC and Steam Deck.

When Captain Chuck “WOLFHOUND” Rossetti was ordered to infiltrate an uncharted island, eliminate enemy forces, and rescue the crew of a vessel lost in the Bermuda Triangle, he expected a bloody mess. He just didn’t expect a crash landing, and for things to be so grotesque, thanks to the horrific experiments of the mad Nazi scientist, Dr. Steiner.

Explore the mysterious island, scavenging for weapons and ammo from the forces of the clandestine fortress. Fend off strange creatures debuting in the new trailer, like overgrown mutant rats with bladed tails, a massive armored bodyguard, and pulsating globs of formless flesh.

Make Dr. Steiner regret his decision to create powerful experimental weaponry like a railgun by turning it against his own creations. Scale otherwise un-navigable passageways by finding powerful mobility tech like air-dash boots and a jetpack. Capt. Rosetti will need every advantage he can get, as he realizes he’s the only one who can prevent Nazi world domination.

“The team and I have largely gone heads down since our successful reveal in 2024, but we’re glad to finally show off some of the new bizarre foes you’ll square off with,” said James Petruzzi, founder and lead developer at Bit Kid. “We know our fans have been itching to see more and try it for themselves – stop by the MIX’s event in Seattle tonight and try it for yourself.”

WOLFHOUND will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam for PC and Steam Deck in 2026. For more information, follow Bit Kid on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and join the official Bit Kid Discord server.

  • Three Quests, Three Doomed Paths – Embark on three interwoven journeys to recover ancient relics of immense power: The Eye, The Heart, and The Dagger. Each quest offers distinct environments, enemies, and challenges, from storm-lashed fortresses to spectral coastlines and the abyss itself.
  • Face the Dark Gods – Lord Vroll’s dominion is protected by champions of nightmare, abyssal warlocks, vengeful witches, and creatures born of darkness. Every major encounter tests not just your skill, but your resolve.
  • A Kingdom in Ruin – Traverse a world steeped in gothic decay, from the corpse-littered streets of Wolftown to the fog-choked highlands and cursed catacombs. Each location is brought to life with richly animated pixel art and a haunting, heavy-metal inspired soundtrack.

Slay. Be Slain. Rise Again.
