Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair Updated With 8-Bit Soundtrack | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair Updated With 8-Bit Soundtrack](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/yooka-laylee-and-the-impossible-lair-updated-with-8-bit-soundtrack.jpeg "Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair Updated With 8-Bit Soundtrack")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/yooka-laylee-and-the-impossible-lair-updated-with-8-bit-soundtrack.jpeg)Team17 and Playtonic Games have released a new update for Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. The new update adds a new 8-bit soundtrack to the game, as well as “The Impossible Lair” and “The Not So Impossible Lair” options.

Team17 and Playtonic Games have today launched a brand new, free content update to the critically acclaimed Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair!

## [](#update-details)Update details

The new update features: The Impossible Lair No ‘Bee Shield’, no checkpoints. The “Golden Try” tonic can now be earned through this version of the Lair, without the need to restart the save.

**The Not So Impossible Lair**

Each section of the Lair now ends with a checkpoint. Checkpoints save your best “bee shield” score. You can select which checkpoint you start from, and your highest bee shield score will always be saved. E.g., you previously cleared a section with 10 bees remaining. You select the checkpoint and clear it with 12 bees remaining. Your bee progress stays saved, so you have more bees for later sections.

**8-bit soundtrack**

Players can now choose to hear the 2D level music in 8-bit chiptune, thanks to the work of Tatertottunes. This option can be found in the menu.
