Gamers explore colorful 3D worlds, collect items, and battle the minions of a greedy bee in Yooka-Laylee. Heavily inspired by the Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie franchises, the action finds players controlling Yooka the chameleon and Laylee the bat as they solve puzzles, unleash special moves to defeat foes, and scoop up collectibles to unlock new moves and thwart Capital B's plan to destroy the world's books. Open-world environments contain Pagies that can be collected to expand or unlock new levels, and multiplayer fans can join a friend for co-op action.
