/// Yooka-Laylee Gone Gold!
Developer Playtonic has wrapped up the initial development on Yooka-Laylee, meaning the game has “gone gold.” The game was funded on Kickstarter. Not every project from Kickstarter comes out on time, or at all, but Yooka-Laylee is coming out in April, 21 months after the campaign began.

/// Tony Hawk is Working on a New Game, and Not With Activision!
The most recent Tony Hawk game, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5, was very poorly received. The commercial response was as tepid as the game’s critical one, so it’d be safe to assume we’re not getting any more Pro Skater games for a while.
However, we may be wrong, as the man himself recently confirmed there could be something in the works, and it won’t even come from series publisher Activision.
“Not from Activision. I’m potentially working on something but it’s so early I couldn’t talk about it,” Tony Hawk told Jenkem Magazine.

@ryan89778 It won't be there at launch but this is support we'd like to add as it comes to the Xbox platform.
