Playtonic has announced a date for Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, and it is much sooner than fans expected. The game is set to release on October 8, and a new teaser trailer was released by Team17 to show some of the changes in visuals. The game will be available for preorder, and those who choose to purchase this way will get some exclusive Tonics.
If you played the original Yooka-Laylee then you already understand the importance of Tonics as they added some extra bonuses like additional health or gave Yooka some very tight blue shorts. These Tonics bring out the fun quality in the game and the developers hope to recapture the imagination from an earlier stage of gaming.
In this new title, the developers have added many new ingredients to their game’s formula on Tonics. Unlike in the previous game, the Tonics can be combined to give new effects, and the developer states that it could be well over a million different combinations. This is a lot of power to give a small blue lizard, but fans seem enthusiastic about it nonetheless.
The Tonics can be used to change the rules of the game from adding checkpoints, removing them altogether, or even changing the number of enemies that spawn. The power is in your small reptilian hands to make the game what you want it to be in levels of difficulty.
This time around the Tonics can also change the appearance of a level from blocky green visuals to HD rendering. No matter what style you choose to go with the level combinations stay relatively the same, but hey, it could be fun to see the game from a different stylistic perspective.
You can even change your Skin by making yourself a different color or even removing the tail. Many are sure that the Tonics can do more in-depth changes like making you taller or shorter or maybe even giving your character a different head style. Run, swim, or climb faster using the power of these magical Tonics.
If you have not noticed by now, the use of Tonics is a very important aspect of the game itself. The modifications done to this small reptile can make or break the entire game experience. Fans are ready to down some potions as player feedback and opinions grow on multiple social media platforms.
If you are ready to drink some random concoctions, then you can easily pre-order this game from a platform of your choosing. The game itself will launch on October 8th for $29.99 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
