If you want to try out Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair but you aren’t sure if you will like it, good news. Team17 and Playtonic Games have announced that a demo is available to download for free on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Store and PC via Steam.

Set after the climactic battle of the original 2017 3D platformer, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, this brand new adventure sees the colorful chameleon and bat duo attempt to free Queen Phoebee’s kingdom by releasing her captured Beettalion across the colorful game world. Throughout the game, players can attempt to tackle Capital B’s latest and greatest threat yet – the eponymous Impossible Lair itself.

Set across 40 levels within an expansive and interactive 3D Overworld.

Uncover new secrets and puzzles that dynamically transform the environment into brand-new experiences.

Silky-smooth 60fps across all platforms.

Tonics return, with game-modifying potions that give players the ability to customize their adventure with character skins, graphical filter effects, and difficulty modifiers.
