Playtonic has, in its own cheeky way, announced a release window for Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, the upcoming second game in the series.

　　The game will release in October, although a specific day within October has not been clarified. The news came via a video tweeted out by the official Playtonic Twitter account, along with the caption "Good things are coming in October..." In a follow-up tweet, the developer said that the music in the original video was from a new Grant Kirkhope track that will be released in full next week.

　　The new game, announced in June, is a 2.5D platformer created by many of the key talents who were behind the original Donkey Kong Country. It'll mix platforming and puzzles, and a sidescrolling platforming sections with a 3D top-down overworld. If it's anything like the original Yooka-Laylee, it'll be full of retro throwbacks. The game is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.

　　In her 6/10 review of the original Yooka-Laylee, Kallie Plagge said that "despite attempts at modernizing the formula, its style of gameplay is still outdated, and it doesn’t stay challenging or interesting for long as a result."
