Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, the latest adventure from independent developer, Playtonic Games, is available to pre-order and will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo SwitchTM, and Windows PC, on 8th October 2019.
The return of ‘Tonics’, game-modifying potions first encountered in the original Yooka-Laylee, has also been confirmed. More than 60 Tonics can be collected, giving players the ability to mix up the game in brand-new ways. In Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, Tonics not only affect gameplay – including infinite rolling, harder enemies, and super speed – but also unlock new environmental and visual effects!
A range of exciting 2.5D levels sit within an expansive 3D Overworld, as Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair sees the duo unite in order to rescue members of Queen Phoebee’s Royal Beettalion Guard from the dastardly Capital B, in a quest to ultimately take on his most nefarious challenge yet: The Impossible Lair.
Pre-orders for the game can be made from today, providing players access to the exclusive ‘Trowzer’s Top Tonic Pack’, a collection of four exclusive cosmetic Tonics perfect for players eager to start their adventure through the Royal Stingdom:
- Largee Head tonic: This tonic gives Laylee a comically oversized head
- Glow Worm tonic: Yooka and Laylee glow like… well, glow worms
- D.I.S.C.O. tonic: Turn every level into a platforming party of Playtonic proportions
- Yooka 64: A blast from the past Tonic for fans of all things retro
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair will be available digitally on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo SwitchTM and Windows PC. Physical editions will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo SwitchTM at selected retailers globally.
