Yooka-Laylee Soundtrack Released in Vinyl, CD and Digital Forms

With retro platformer Yooka-Laylee just a few short days from release now, the time has come to get excited about the slice of N64-inspired gaming goodness. To help you can now listen to the soundtrack on Spotify, as well as pick yourself up a copy in digital or physical form.

The soundtrack is composed by a trio of Rare stalwarts; Grant Kirkhope (Goldeneye 007, Banjo-Kazooie), David Wise (Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country), and Steve Burke (Kameo, Viva Piñata). This pedigree meant we were always going to be treated to an old-school assault on the earballs, evoking memories of the games of days gone by.

“It’s great to be celebrating the release of the game with a separate soundtrack release. We’ve had the pleasure of humming these tunes all day throughout development and were blessed to have great composers write music for us in their renowned style” said Gavin Price, MD of Playtonic.

The double LP set spreads the listening experience across two deluxe 180g vinyl records, packaged in a deluxe heavyweight sleeve, and pressed on vivid purple and green, reflecting Yooka-Laylee’s titular heroes. The CD is presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, with both formats featuring gorgeous artwork from the game. A digital download of the full album is also included exclusively with vinyl purchased from the Laced Records store.

Yooka-Laylee launches on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Mac, and Linux on the 11th April 2017 and is available to pre-order digitally now via the Xbox Store, PlayStation Store, Steam, and GOG. If hard copies are your thing though, a boxed version is also coming to the Xbox One and PS4. Check out our full review of the game here.
