VIDEO: Yoku’s Island Express Announcement Trailer
Team 17 has picked up the publishing rights to Villa Gorilla’s pinball adventure game, which is coming to the Nintendo Switch next year. Called Yoku’s Island Express, you play as the Dung Beetle who has arrived on Mokumana Island to relieve the pterodactyl postmaster of his duties.
Delivering packages on a tropical paradise can’t be that difficult, right? Well, unfortunately an ancient island deity is trapped in a restless sleep, and his nightmares are causing chaos on the island. It’s up to Yoku to explore the island using a blend of pinball mechanics and open world exploration. This one looks like a really fun and unique title and we can’t wait to try it out!
