Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair update announced – new ways to play Impossible Lair, 8-bit soundtrack

Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Playtonic has announced a new update for Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. Switch players should have access starting April 14.

One of the major changes concerns the Impossible Lair itself with two options: “Not So Impossible Lair” and “Impossible Lair”. The first one includes optional checkpoints, while the latter means you’ll need to play without the Bee Shield or checkpoints. If you do go with Impossible Lair and clear the level, you’ll earn the “Golden Try” Tonic.

Here’s the full rundown of the update:

Yooka-Laylee adding Yooka 64 model for its 64-bit Tonic

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Yooka-Laylee will be adding a new model for its 64-bit Tonic, developer Playtonic has announced. A specific release date hasn’t been announced.

Players can already access the 64-bit Tonic, which gives Yooka-Laylee a retro-esque look. However, the in-game model didn’t really match the feel of that style. With this new model – pictured above – Playtonic is delivering on fan requests to have Yooka and Laylee seem as though they were right out of the N64 era.
