Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair announced

Playtonic's next goes 2.5D.

Yooka-Laylee is getting a 2.5D follow-up titled Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair.

It's from Playtonic, developer of the first Yooka-Laylee, and is published by Team17.

Here's the official blurb:

"In this new platforming adventure hybrid, Yooka and Laylee must combine their abilities to take on a series of challenging and vibrant 2.5D levels and explore and solve puzzles in a beautiful 3D overworld. It's on them to rescue Queen Phoebee's Royal Beettalion Guard from each level, as they size up Capital B's most dastardly challenge yet - the Impossible Lair."

And here's the debut trailer:
