Yooka-Laylee developer Playtonic is laying off over a dozen staff


Playtonic is laying off staff across its studio ahead of the release of Yooka-Replaylee in 2025.

Playtonic, the creators of Yooka-Laylee, is laying off some of its staff, the developer and publisher announced on social media. The post doesn't mention how many members of Playtonic will be effected, but does credit the layoffs to the company's struggle with "a period of profound change in how games are created and funded." Playtonic only lists around 50 staff members on LinkedIn, but given the studios growth into a publisher and its upcoming release of Yooka-Replaylee,its possible the actual team is a bit larger.
