YouTuber JonTron initially had a voice role in Yooka Laylee. Now developer Playtonic has decided to remove him from the game due to recent racist remarks he made.
Playtonic left this statement to Game Industry: “However, in light of his recent personal viewpoints we have made the decision to remove JonTron’s inclusion in the game via a forthcoming content update”
PlayTonic went on to say they do not endorse or support JonTron’s far right viewpoints. Therefore, the minor character he voiced will be replaced by someone else when an update is released for the game.
Yooka Laylee releases on April 11th so it’s possible the game will have a day one update patch in order to remove JonTron’s voice. The update might also have other fixes too.
