The hugely charming Yoku's Island Express has a release date

Been there, dung that.

Yoku's Island Express will launch for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 29th May, publisher Team17 has announced.

If you've not heard of Yoku before, well, it's a pinball-based platformer where you play as a dung beetle postman solving problems and delivering mail. It's even better than it sounds.

It's an odd pitch, but there's plenty of depth to the game - a large world to explore, missions to solve, and special abilities to equip. Here's a new trailer, so you can see it all in action.

A digital-only launch (for now), the game will cost £15.99 in the UK, or €19.99/$19.99.
