Earlier today Playtonic Ltd announced Elsie is hitting PC, PS5 & Switch on September 10th with a GORGEOUS animated trailer 😍 From QA, to devs, animators, voice actors and marketing, a whole bunch of very talented folks worked tirelessly to get this out the door! Have a watch and a listen, I get goosebumps from the song 😮💨 https://lnkd.in/gjyMT8ww

This week, Matt Griffin, Daniel Murdoch and Steve J. popped over to Prague to oversee (Well, I was here for content!) the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra recording orchestral versions of Yooka-Laylee tracks for Yooka-Replaylee at Smecky Music Studios! We’d like to extend a huge thanks to the team at Smecky and the Orchestra for being so accommodating and welcoming. We’ll have some content from the trip in the coming weeks and we can’t wait for you all to hear the quite frankly MAGICAL orchestral performances 😍

On Tuesday, a few of the Playtonic crew popped over to Burton and South Derbyshire College to speak with students about the games industry! It was really great for us to be able to share our individual experiences in how each of us entered the industry, from working in QA, to Rare veterans taking redundancy and forming Playtonic itself, or being a streamer that discovered Community Management! Hopefully this inspired the students and helped them see that regardless of what they want to do within the industry or adjacent industries, there's multiple pathways they can take towards and that they have plenty of options and plenty of time to decide where they land. Thank you to Gavin Price, Rebecca McCarthy, John Pegg and Steve J. for taking time out of their busy days to take part in this great initiave!

Now that the bat is out of the bag about Yooka-Replaylee! To celebrate our first internally-developed announcement since 2019, we roped in the guys at Poblano to rustle us up some Mexican street food on announcement day! Everyone loved their burritos, bowls and nachos, thanks guys!

I proposed to my girlfriend... That we announce our first self-published title this week, Yooka-Replaylee! Yooka-Replaylee is the culmination of almost 10 years of experience since founding Playtonic, plus a whole bunch of community feedback and input from our team that's much larger than it was in 2017! We can't wait to show you more! https://lnkd.in/esjjzgqZ
