Team17 to Publish Yoku’s Island Express
Team17 and Swedish developer Villa Gorilla today announced that the pinball platform game Yoku’s Island Express has joined Team17’s games label. Yoku’s Island Express is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2018.
Meet our hero Yoku the Dung Beetle who has arrived on Mokumana Island to relieve the resident pterodactyl postmaster of his duties. He’s ready for the easy life, soaking up the sun and delivering parcels on a tropical paradise. However, he’ll quickly discover that an ancient Island deity is trapped in a restless sleep, and a host of islanders are plagued by quakes and storms brought forth by its nightmares. It’s all down to Yoku to traverse the island using a unique blend of pinball mechanics and open world exploration, in a quest to help those in need!
Flip and bump our pint-sized protagonist around the hand-painted island on your quest to rebuild the post-office, discover the mystery of the Fruit Altar, and wake an old god from its deep slumber.
