Classic Rare Artist Kevin Bayliss Joins Playtonic Games!

Playtonic is on a role when it comes to gaining new team members, and their newest grab is no exception.

Yesterday, it was announced via Twitter that ex Rare veteran Kevin Bayliss would be joining the Playtonic family. For those unaware, Bayliss worked at  Rare from 1989-2005 creating just as many memorable character designs as Steve Mayles. These include all 3 Battletoads, the characters from Killer Instinct, and even the modern Re-designs for Donkey and Diddy Kong! I think it’s safe to say that the company is in very good hands right now, and we can’t wai to learn more about Yooka Laylee and their other projects. Are you excited for this announcement? Who do you want to see joining Playtonic next?
