Do you remember Yooka-Laylee? This 3D platformer began as a kickstarter way back in 2015. Marketed as a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie, at least initially, Yooka-Laylee ended up spanning two games since.

Yooka-Laylee, the first game in the franchise, went with more traditional 3D platforming. As for the other, Yooka-Laylee & the Impossible Lair, we got a mix of 2D levels and 3D platforming.

One question remains however, where is Twoka-Laylee or Yooka-Twolee? Ever since post launch of the The Impossible Lair, fans have been wondering whether or not Playtonic Games would go back to traditional 3D. Let's discuss it! And while at it, what has Playtonic Games been up to over the years?
