Kickstarter Backers who pledged applicable Toybox will receive their PC, Mac or Linux digital codes via email on July 28th. As promised in the Kickstarter campaign, the Toybox isn’t a traditional ‘demo’, but a self-contained, spoiler-free sandbox designed to give Yooka-Laylee backers a taste of the platforming to come in the final game.
There are moves to try, custom-built props to play with, secrets to discover and yes, shiny collectibles to hunt out. Playtonic has even included a never-before-seen NPC to chatter with.
Toybox will offer backers the chance to be the first people outside Playtonic to try out Yooka-Laylee’s core mechanics, and we’ll be gathering your feedback on stuff like controls, cameras and movement.
Yooka-Laylee will release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Wii U, Linux and Mac in Q1 2017.
Check out the Trailer:
“If you are one of the lucky backers, you might want to check out Playtonic’s FAQ for further details and system specs. A note on this page states that there are no plans to make this sandbox available to non-backers, so the rest of us can get Yooka-coloured with envy while watching the Toybox in the Trailer.”
