【ＫＩＮＧ　ＯＦ　ＲＯＴ】

Recompiled, oh my word! People love the Bear and Bird!

I always wanted to see K. Rool and his very own animal buddy canonically interacting. In my heart and mind, this is as official as it gets! Absolutely so thrilled!! I hope my fellow fans of the Kaptain-King enjoy looking at this almost as much as I will enjoy having it on my wall! :)

Fresh from the pen of his original creator, Kaptain K.Rool returns in an exciting new commission!

His Town

HAPPY NEW YEAR My first video to ever blow up was a very negative review of Yooka-Laylee. I don’t take back anything I said in that video However, its remake Yooka-RePlaylee is absolutely incredible. Amazing what a difference 8 years can make, @playtonicgames.com Watch here, youtu.be/fCL68PT1SW4

Merry Christmas from Donkey Kong & Friends #DonkeyKong #DonkeyKongBananza #BanjoKazooie #Christmas #Christmas2025 @grantkirkhope.bsky.social @winkysteve.bsky.social @playtonicgames.com @rare.co.uk

Donkey Kong Country may have turned out well in the end, but this series of shots taken by an SG IndyCam in 1994 shows the stress the team were under at the time

Name me a greater comeback in gaming. You can't

25 years since we released Banjo-Tooie! Have a boss-montage. Bosses are always the most fun to make. See how big and strong Mr Patch is!

Assembling these freaks for Tooie's 25th. Seems to be taking ages, but getting there now!

Yooka and Laylee are off on a jolly around London today! 🇬🇧💚 If you spot them on your travels, snap a pic and share it with us, we’d love to see! 📸✨ Heading to EGX!? Look out for them, they have stickers!

Yooka-Replaylee is out now on... well EVERYWHERE! 💚💜 The open world 3D platforming epic with hundreds of collectibles to discover, an evil capitalist bee to defeat, and a snake in trousers await! It's bigger. It's better. It's Yooka-Replaylee!

I’m still early into Yooka-Replaylee but… They did it! Immediately - controls better, looks better, sounds better, paced SO MUCH better, and funnier. And I say this as someone who still does not like the original Yooka-Laylee. But Replaylee so far is good, maybe even great!

Watch 2 hours of incredible art come to life in under a minute! 🎨✨ Our talented artist Dean Wilson brings the Yooka-Replaylee key art to life stroke by stroke, and you get to see it all in fast-forward. See more of Dean’s amazing work here 👉 instagram.com/deanwilsonart

Proud to be a Grabbed by the Ghoulies fan! I drew this Artwork over the last couple of days as a Color & Light study. Ended up being one of my favorite things I've ever drawn! Happy to contribute to the growing (statement not fact checked) Ghoulies Fan Community 🎃 #GrabbedByTheGhoulies #RareWare

Heading on over to Cleveland this weekend...might see you there?

Random Fan Art, day 35: Miner Characters #BanjoKazooie #AltersArtTag

I was pleased with how this one turned out!

Another Banjo-Kazooie commission. Slowly adding some colour. I call this one 'Flushed with success' Thank you

Gnawty & Zinger. The DKC enemy designs are simple yet so creative. #DonkeyKong

Second in Kommand 🐊 This is #DonkeyKong art day 69 (yeah yeah, shut up). I stopped for a while because I really wanted to try and make some new stuff among the reposts! #AltersArtTag Now, which is your favorite design for the hefty boy?

It's great to see DK back in Bananza! Back in 1994, we were getting ready to bring DK back ourselves! With Nintendo having lost ground to Sega in the console wars, it can't be over-estimated how important DKC was for Nintendo (and Rare of course!)

3 decades apart. We were 3d pioneers, back in the day.

They brought back my idle anims?

There's a lot of love for our original DKC games in #DonkeyKongBananza It's great to see! I'm guessing a lot of the team grew up playing DKC.

The old Rare boys are back in town ! Hair a bit more grey than 30 years ago

I'm...I'm starting to see...things being posted today...can it be true my friends...?

Man that anniversary really sneaks up on ya. To celebrate, here’s a redraw of the first art I ever made of them

Excellent!

I'll be popping up in Cleveland in September! Might see you there?!

@grantkirkhope.bsky.social @conkerhimself.bsky.social @rare.co.uk @winkysteve.bsky.social @robinbeanland.bsky.social You might find some things in here that you've worked on ;)

Donkey Kong Country: A Rare 30 year legacy starring Pre-rendered Apes Hope you like my tribute to the Kongs and Kremlings! #ドンキーコング #Donkeykong #DonkeyKongCountry #スーパードンキーコング #Nintendo

It's North America's time for 30 years of #DonkeyKongCountry This was the only box I did solo... Holding the bananas like that, Donkey doesn't realize the rest of the bunch will snap off leaving him holding 1 banana. Amateur.

Just seen a Facebook reminder that apparently #BanjoTooie came out 24 years ago. Here the picture from that original FB post. Story boards, test box art and to do lists! #gamedev #gameart

Great work!

Blue sky and doggo. Scraggly and wet, but we enjoyed the walk!

30 years since we unleashed DKC on the world! Here's some art from the 25th anniversary - how quick has that 5 years gone?

Platform fans, party fans, ball... enjoyers? We want YOU to playtest Dunk Dunk! We've added Yooka, Laylee and some Playtonic Friends cameos to the draft for you to DUNK with 🏀 Come try it on Steam rn for free! store.steampowered.com/app/2410590/...

More unseen bits from the history of #yookalaylee. Unused concept art from the #impossiblelair. Originally we toyed with the idea of 2d versions of the original levels. I was keen to explore more of Galleon Galaxy’s junk aesthetic by having a rusty junk planet. Maybe in future ;)

So is everyone just posting the same thing on Twitter and Bluesky? Or have some of you left Twitter for good?

I'll tell you what she is saying Mr M "Give WinkySteve an all-expenses paid family holiday to DKC land"

I've not worked on a DK game since 1995. Even so, seeing these characters here warms the cockles

I'm hyped about @playtonic.bsky.social's announcement of Yooka-Replaylee coming to consoles~! I wanted to re-share my fan art I did for the release of Yooka-Laylee, I can't believe it's been 7 years since I drew them~! 💚💜 (Apr 2017) @winkysteve.bsky.social #YookaLaylee #YookaReplaylee #PurtoDraws

hey bluesky, lemme introduce you to our games one at a time! this is Dunk Dunk! it's the answer to "What if Rocket League and Smash Bros. had a weird little baby?" youtu.be/0LXjJ-D0MIc
