Playtonic Games' fargerike åndelige oppfølger til Banjo-Kazooie, altså Yooka-Laylee, fikk nylig et par nye skjermbilder og en god del ny informasjon om hva vi kan vente oss. I ekte Banjo-Kazooie-ånd vil vi få se en haug med samlegjenstander. Vi har også fått noen skjermbilder av spillets frittstående toybox, og denne skal visst bli mye større og innholdsrik enn først antatt.

Yooka and Laylee's adventure will take them deep inside the work halls of a baneful business, as the buddy-duo seek out the magical Pagies required to explore the mysterious Grand Tomes. The dexterous pair will seek to unlock the ancient secrets of these bewitching books, as they battle to thwart corporate creep Capital B and his devious scheme to absorb all of the world's literature... and convert them into pure profit.
Our ambition with Yooka-Laylee is to create a story and cast of characters that will live on as part of future Playtonic Games, so you can be sure there will be plenty of secrets, back stories and punch lines to discover when you join the Lizard and Bat on their epic adventure.
In their adventure through Capital B's corporate lair, Yooka and Laylee will explore land, air and sea in search of Pagies and their power to unlock - and expand - the magical Grand Tomes held captive in Hivory Towers.
Yooka-Laylee will introduce a roster of shiny collectibles with gameplay progression at their core (as well as other, more valuable materials). Tasty Butterfly Energy will refill the player's health and the brand new power meter, which is designed to empower fun and challenging platforming gameplay while avoiding the all-too-occasional tedium of resource management.
Using the hundreds of collectible Quills discovered during their travels, the buddy-duo will purchase and unlock moves from the serpent salesman Trowzer, which they can choose to do in virtually any order that the player decides. This is just one way which Yooka-Laylee empowers player choice, in addition to the ability to expand and make larger the worlds you've already explored, and the unique Tonic gameplay modifiers which can be used to customise your play style.

The wait is almost over... the Toybox is coming - and we're happy to finally confirm that the standalone gameplay experience will be available in July for Kickstarter backers who opted for appropriate tiers.
So why has it taken so long? Quite simply, our plans for the Toybox have expanded beyond the web-based, single-room play thing we originally planned and it's now a much more significant chunk of playable content.
