Yooka-Laylee: In arrivo il primo aggiornamento su PC

Playtonic ha annunciato l'arrivo del primo aggiornamento della versione PC di Yooka-Laylee, il nuovo colorato platform dello studio che ha debuttato lo scorso aprile (potete leggere la nostra recensione). La patch si chiama "The Yooka-Laylee Spit 'N' Polish Update" e mira a sistemare e migliorare diversi aspetti del gioco.

Tra le migliorie che verranno apportate da queso update, c'è, ad esempio, la possibilità di usare la telecamera con maggiore libertà (oltre ad essere stata migliorata), il sistema di controllo appare più rifinito, il menù di pausa ha una musica diversa, possiamo ora mirare in prima persona e tanto altro. Per consultare il change-log completo, potete dare un'occhiata di seguito. Al momento, Playtonic non ha ancora annunciato la data di lancio su Switch, dunque i possessori della console ibrida di Nintendo dovranno avere un po' di pazienza. Nel caso non abbiate ancora acquistato il gioco, Yooka-Laylee è attualmente in sconto su Steam al 25%.
