Don't call it Yooka-Laylee Twoie, but Playtonic is bringing their 3D platformer back with a twist.
Publisher Team17 and Playtonic have announced Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. A physical release will be available for the game, which will launch on Switch before the end of the year.
In the Impossible Lair, Yooka and Laylee will travel through 3D environments to solve puzzles while also trying to survive 2D platforming stages and rescue Queen Phoebee's guards.
