Yooka-Laylee Toybox Mode Released To Kickstarter Backers
Those who helped fund the making of this Banjo Kazooie spiritual successor can get their hands on an early version of the game.
Playtonic successfully Kickstarted Yooka-Laylee last year, and those who helped back the project will be able to check in on the game and see how it's coming along thanks to the release of Toybox, a "spoiler-free sandbox" that allows players to experiment with the game’s basic moves, play with custom-built props, and interact with a brand new NPC character. Those who are getting the code should have received it today, so check your email.
See Yooka-Laylee in action in the game's recent E3 trailer.
Our Take
This is a neat mode for those who want to see how Yooka-Laylee is coming along, but I'm more interested in playing the game when Playtonic has a polished level they feel good about.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
