Trailer Released for Yoku's Island Express

Mascot platformers are back with a vengeance lately. Last year saw the return of Ratchet and Clank as well as another new Rayman title, 2017 will see Skylar and Plux, Yooka Laylee and a Crash Bandicoot remastering. But the mixture of animals in those games is clearly lacking in Coleoptera. Villa Gorilla are putting that right however when they release their hybrid title Yoku's Island Express.

You play as Yoku, a dung beetle who wants nothing more than to get back home with his acquired ball of dung. The game features elements of platformers, metroidvania exploration and pinball. Yes, you heard that right. Think Sonic Spinball but with more collected guano and you're in the right ball park. Check out the game's trailer above ahead of its release later this year.
