Volta-X reveals Yooka-Laylee collaboration, new update out today
GungHo Online Entertainment America today announced that a crossover collaboration with Playtonic Games’ Yooka-Laylee is on the way to the real-time strategy RPG Volta-X. It’ll arrive in November.
The Yooka-Laylee collaboration will include an original story mission and unique abilities. Yooka can use “Slurp State” to take on any environmental effects in a room and imbue his next attacks with that effect. Additional information about the collaboration will be provided later.
There’s also a new update for Volta-X going live today. Here’s what it includes:
As for the new update dropping today, the Headquarters hub is receiving an Edit Mode, which will allow players to move parts of their Base around. Improvements have also been made to Crew Assignments and selection. Players will receive new battle Emotes and a Volta taunt, and can now access multiple save slots if they want to battle their way through the game’s story again.
Four new weapons are being thrown into the mix to change up the game:
Light Punch delivers a low-damage, fast-cooldown attack that gives players the opportunity to strike over and over again. It can’t target flying objects, but it can overwhelm an opponent with a furious flurry of jabs.
Ballista does less damage, but this ancient, long-ranged weapon has an extremely short cooldown.
Shotgun sprays opponents with multiple projectiles at once, doing either high damage to one Volta part in close range or less damage to multiple parts from a distance.
Chainsaw inflicts damage upon making contact with an opponent’s part and damages the part three more times as it makes a deeper cut.
Starting on Halloween day, players will be able to compete in a series of special tournaments to win spooky new Kaiju and Volta themed Costumes for their Crew. Just hope that your bot doesn’t go sci-fi on you with a mind of its own!
Going along with today’s news, Volta-X will be 50 percent off on the Switch eShop between October 29 and November 2.
