Last week, Epic Games confirmed the free games promotion on its PC games store won"t be ending its run in 2022 either. Now, keeping to its promise, another freebie has landed. Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair has taken the place of last week"s Daemon X Machina giveaway. This is a repeat freebie, so you may find it already in your Epic Games Store library.
Released in October 2019 by Playtonic Games, this is a platformer experience building on the studio"s earlier game Yooka-Laylee, though dropping in a side-scroller this time. You take the roles of Yooka the chameleon and his bat buddy Laylee in a mission to save "Beetalion" members, all to secure enough extra lives to last through the infamous Impossible Lair.
Here"s the description from the store page:
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a brand-new platform adventure from some of the key creative talent behind "Donkey Kong Country". With their arch-nemesis Capital B up to no good the buddy duo needs to spring into action once again to save the day!
The game costs $30 when it is not on sale. Here are the minimum requirements
- OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i3-2125 or AMD A8-6600K
- Memory: 6 GB RAM
- Graphics: GeForce GTX 650 or Radeon HD 5770
- Storage: 6 GB available space
You can add Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair to your Epic Games Store library until next Thursday, February 10. Coming up next to take the freebie slot on the same date is Windbound.
