The sizeable investment will allow the studio to more than double its headcount, expand to three development teams and create more games, one of which will be a sequel to the 2017 3D platform game: Yooka-Laylee.

Old Rare is back.

 

I'm playing through Impossible Lair right now.  It's outstanding.  Also glad to see a Yooka-Laylee 3D sequel being developed.  I still believe that it's a much better game than it's made out to be, though not without blemishes.  A bigger budget is exactly what they needed.
