Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair

Yooka and Laylee set out to stop Capital B from using a Hivemind device to enslave the kingdom’s bees. Players guide the duo through side-scrolling 2.5D levels, jumping, rolling, avoiding hazards, and finding collectibles. Between levels, explore a 3D overworld filled with characters, secrets, and environmental puzzles. Completing objectives opens routes and levels, while rescued Royal Beetallion bees provide extra protection in the Impossible Lair. The overworld can also change levels into alternate versions with different layouts or conditions. Collect quills to unlock Tonics, which modify gameplay or visuals, and decide when to attempt the Impossible Lair, available from the start.

Guide Yooka and Laylee through 2.5D platforming levels and a puzzle-filled overworld to rescue bees and prepare for Capital B’s lair.
