The successor to Banjo Kazooie, Yooka-Laylee, is set to get a guest appearance from Shovel Knight, it's revealed...
Update: Yooka-Laylee, the spiritual successor to the classic 3D platformer Banjo Kazooie, is progressing nicely since its 2015 Kickstarter campaign. A playable build of the game made an appearance at Eurogamer's expo in the UK over the weekend, and the general consensus so far is that it's as colourful, well crafted and quirky as Banjo fans could have hoped.
A new teaser trailer, meanwhile, reveals that a special guest star is coming to Playtonic's platformer: the blue adventurer, Shovel Knight. Another game funded by Kickstarter, Shovel Knight is one of the best retro-themed platformers of the past few years - and now its hero is set to appear in 3D form for the the first time.
Shovel Knight will be a non-player character in Yooka-Laylee, and will serve as a...

From the makers of Banjo Kazooie comes Yooka-Laylee, a 3D platformer that has now passed the £1.5m mark on Kickstarter...
Kickstarter wasn't created as a platform for veteran developers to recapture their past glories, but the past couple of years have seen all kinds of familiar names appear on the site - Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune and Castlevania's Koji Igarashi are but two recent examples.
To the list we can add artist and animator Steve Mayles, who created the much-loved Banjo Kazooie characters at Rare in the 1990s. Mayles has since left Rare - along with several other employees - to found a new studio called Playtonic Games, and Yooka-Laylee's their new game.
A revival of Banjo Kazooie's 3D platforming, Yooka-Laylee features a new cartoon duo - Yooka, a chameleon, and Laylee, a "crazy" bat. Former Rare personnel like Steven Hurst, who worked on the Banjo Kazooie series, and Kevin Bayliss,...
