Yooka-Laylee Gets Manual Camera Mode And Faster Gibberish

Recommended Videos

 

A much-hyped Yooka-Laylee patch has launched on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This update adds a number of requested features to the game. Among the most desired is a manual camera mode, which lets players control it, and more gibberish and cut-scene options which allow you to shorten dialogue, speed through it by holding down a button, or skip an event scene completely by pressing a button. The PC version of the patch will be released soon.
