Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk announced for iPhone, iPad and Android

Out next month.

Codemasters has unveiled the new Dizzy game it teased yesterday.

Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk is a special HD edition of the 1991 classic for iPad, iPhone and Android, and is out on Friday, 9th December.

The iOS and Android editions of Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk are developed by DNA Interactive and Paul Ranson, the game's original project director.

"20 years on and Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk remains one of the most memorable games in the series for its puzzles and humour and it's an absolute pleasure to return to the director's role for this HD edition," Ranson said.

"For once, this is a retro classic that doesn't require rose-tinted glasses to appreciate its design and gameplay - Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk is simply a great puzzle-solving romp that's been brought up-to-date with glorious visuals."

Screenshots and a reveal trailer are below.

"It always astounds us what a loyal fan base Dizzy still has," Philip Oliver, one of the series' creators, said.

"Even after all these years people remember Dizzy fondly and it's great to see him return for his older fans and introduce him to a new generation of gamers."

Brother Andrew Oliver added: "Dizzy Prince of the Yolkfolk was one of the most popular Dizzy titles and it's exciting to see him making his debut iOS and Android for the holidays."
