Press release:
12th December 2017, UK – Award-winning international games label Team17 and independent developer Villa Gorilla have today released a new trailer for its forthcoming charming pinball platform game Yoku’s Island Express. The festive new trailer showcases some of the snowy surroundings Yoku will uncover as he flips and bumps across his aerial ascent to the highest reaches of Mokumana island. In this frosty setting our favourite dung beetle will meet a whole host of colourful new islanders including Tungaska, Chirp the foreman and Tilo the mountaineer.

In Yoku’s Island Express, newly appointed postmaster Yoku the dung beetle quickly discovers that all is not well on Mokumana island. The ancient island deity is stuck in a restless slumber and its nightmares has caused a host of earthquakes and storms across the island. It’s all down to Yoku to traverse the island using a unique blend of pinball mechanics in an amazing quest to help the islanders.

Yoku’s Island Express is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch™ and PC in 2018. To keep up to date with all the information on Yoku’s Island Express please like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and join us on Discord.
