Update 2: Name update: the game is going by the tentative name “Project Ukulele”. Additionally, reader Noble Wrot tried adjusting the levels and contrasts of the image below to bring out the forms of the shadowy figures. We might be looking at a bird and some kind of reptile!

Update: Teaser site open here. The team is entirely comprised of those who were formerly from Rare. We also have this piece of art:

This month’s issue of EDGE contains an interview with Playtonic. The studio’s first game will be a spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie, and the team seems to have quite a bit of interest in the Wii U.

As stated in the magazine:

“There’s a history of working with Nintendo so we’d naturally love to see our game on a Nintendo platform. If people tell us to make Wii U our target console platform then we’ve got the flexibility to do that.”

Playtonic has funding, but the company would like to team up with a publisher if the two sides were interesting in working together. The plan is to first release this game on Steam Early Access, followed by consoles.

IronFall Invasion sounds like it will be a pretty lengthy experience. As part of an interview with Ask Your Mum Gaming, the studio said that there will be several hours of gameplay – specifically 7 or 8 hours. There will be 11 levels in total.

VD-Dev also commented on other aspects of IronFall Invasion. The game features mini-games as previously mentioned, along with ten different enemies, big bosses, and numerous weapons.

Good Mood Creators has announced “Mekazoo”, a new side-scrolling platformer for Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The camera shifts through different angles depending on the action shown on-screen.

In Mekazoo, players can control five mekanimals such as a fast-moving armadillo. Other characters can be unlocked including a frog, a wallaby, a panda, and a pelican. Mekanimals can pair up and players will be able to switch between them at will.

Check out a trailer for Mekazoo above. The game is due out later this year.
