The demo will have various stages including 2D levels, unique tracks for each level, and a “terrain-transforming” challenge. There won’t be any worries about repeating stages once the game launches. Any progress made in the demo will transfer to the player’s full game if purchased. That being said, it seems fans can beat the game if they’re really good at the demo alone.

Playtonic, founded by veterans of the industry that worked at Rare, kickstarted the original project. The UK-based studio accrued even more than they anticipated, earning over £2 million. The duo was touted as the spiritual successor to Rare’s Banjo-Kazooie.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair was announced back in June 2019 and launched in October 2019.
