With the recent success of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, staff from the development studio had an interview with Spanish media outlet 3DJuegos. It looks like Playtonic Games isn't quite done with the chameleon and bat duo. Mark Stevenson and Steve Mayles discussed the potential future of the Yooka-Laylee franchise, and they wish to continue working on new games. They'd even like to create spin-off titles with other characters from the world of Yooka-Laylee. Nintendo's Mario Kart and Splatoon franchises are name-dropped as examples of where Yooka & Laylee might head. Check out the full translated statement below, thanks to Lant_War on Resetera:


"I think we'll keep working on Yooka Laylee in the future. Really, we could work on any kind of game, a racing game like Mario Kart or a shooter like Splatoon. We've never intended Yooka and Laylee to be the protagonists of all of our games. On the future, we could make a spin-off with one of the many characters from Yooka Laylee, like Dr. Quack or Dr. Puzz. Being independent lets us follow whatever way we want and the one we think is right."
