The original Yooka-Laylee was something. It’s the sort of game that you really, really wanted to love but just couldn’t thanks to some weird inconsistencies and engine issues. Hell, it look me a few hours to even understand how the stage system worked. But the duo is back again, but this time for another story, even if it might not be the full-fledged sequel fans wanted.

In this new platforming adventure hybrid, Yooka and Laylee must combine their abilities to take on a series of 2.5D levels and explore and solve puzzles in a 3D overworld. It’s on them to rescue Queen Phoebee’s Royal Beettalion Guard from each level, as they size up Capital B’s most dastardly challenge yet – the Impossible Lair.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair will be heading to Nintendo Switch^TM, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in 2019. A boxed console version will also be available.
