With Yooka-Laylee releasing in just a few days’ time, Playtonic have moved quickly to resolve some of the more outstanding issues which led to mixed review scores ahead of the game’s launch.

The update aims to fix the game’s sometimes tricky camera by improving transitioning and movement, while it will also tackle a number of gameplay affecting bugs, such as incidents where the game would “softlock” and had to be reset, or where the player would be unable to move.
Here’s the full list of fixes and improvements Playtonic have been working on:
 
  • [Fixed] Camera will become locked in place after completing Gravity Room challenge in Galleon
  • [Fixed] Grappling the seeds as they break in Planker's challenge causes erratic behaviour in Moodymaze Marsh
  • [Fixed] Game softlocks and has to be reset if the player leaves the course and faints during the Nimble race in Tribalstack Tropics
  • [Fixed] Softlock will sometimes occur on the Hub C slide if the player faints at the same moment as the timer reaching zero
  • [Fixed] If the player leaves Brreeeze Block's room in the Icymetric Palace in Glitterglaze Glacier but remains in the world and returns to the same room then the isometric camera will be deactivated
  • [Fixed] If player is killed by a bizzy in hub B and knocked back into the archive door at the exact same time, the screen will still transition. When the player respawns, they will be unable to move
  • Performance improvements to various camera transitions in the introductory cut scene
  • Performance improvements to Shipwreck Creek and Hivory Towers. Various areas have been improved including camera movement
  • Performance improvements when using the light beam in the Icymetric Palace within Glitterglaze Glacier
  • Performance improvements during the House of Cards ball roll course in Capital Cashino
  • Performance improvements in the Bee-Bop arcade game
 
The update is already available on Xbox One, while Playtonic hope to have it ready for PS4 and PC ahead the game’s launch on 11 April.
 
To celebrate Yooka-Laylee’s impending release, a special arcade version of the game will be playable at the Loading Bar, London, from 10 April for a limited time.
