Like most indie games do nowadays, Yooka-Laylee will do a little bit of cross-promotion with a cameo from Yacht Club Games’ Shovel Knight. The knight with the shovel will make a cameo alongside the many other wonderful characters already in the world of Yooka-Laylee. This will also makes it the first time Shovel Knight will be appearing in 3D outside his amiibo form.
The Shovel Knight model in Yooka-Laylee is a joint effort from both Yacht Club- which designed and modeled it- and Playtonic- that rigged and animated it. Check out how he looks alongside the many colourful cast of characters in Yooka-Laylee:
Yooka-Laylee is still set for a 2017 release on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Wii U.
