PLAYTONIC ANNOUNCES SUPER YOOKA-LAYLEE KART

A skilful, expressive and explosive racer built around mastery, rivalry, and revenge-fuelled comebacks

Playtonic today officially unveiled Super Yooka-Laylee Kart during Summer Game Fest as part of Day of the Devs, announcing a bold new arcade racing adventure built around high-skill gameplay, tactical rivalries, and revenge-fuelled comebacks.

Currently announced for PC, Super Yooka-Laylee Kart sees Yooka and Laylee, alongside a cast of fan-favourite friends and foes, ditching platforms for tracks across vibrant worlds old and new. Players can race through a deep story campaign, compete against rivals online, create custom races, rules and tournaments, or dominate the sofa with up to 8-player local split-screen multiplayer.

Built around precision-focused arcade racing, Super Yooka-Laylee Kart combines expressive mechanics, advanced techniques, weapons, and high-stakes competitive gameplay with a unique Rage system that rewards tactical comebacks and brutal payback opportunities. As rivals attack and positions shift, Rage builds throughout the race, unleashing devastating revenge abilities capable of changing the outcome in an instant.

Designed around mastery, replayability, and player expression, the game expands on classic kart racing foundations with modern depth, advanced movement systems, strategic risk-and-reward gameplay, and extensive multiplayer customisation. Players can create their own races, rules, and rivalries through a huge range of gameplay modifiers and tournament setups designed for both chaotic fun and fierce competition.

Beyond multiplayer, Super Yooka-Laylee Kart features a deep Story Campaign packed with tournaments, rival races, Time Trials, endurance events, and a huge variety of skill-based challenges built to continually push players to improve. Coins collected during races can also be strategically spent between events on powerful perks, forcing players to choose between maintaining top speed or gambling everything for a decisive advantage later in the championship.

Playtonic also confirmed plans for a series of upcoming beta tests focused on Super Yooka-Laylee Kart’s online multiplayer features. Players eager to get behind the wheel early and help shape the competitive experience can follow Playtonic for future updates and additional announcements in the months ahead.

Attendees at Summer Game Fest Play Days will be among the first players in the world able to go hands-on with Super Yooka-Laylee Kart following its reveal during Day of the Devs, Summer Game Fest Edition.
