The Yooka-Laylee developer and publisher Playtonic Games has issued a warning via social media about a new scam currently doing the rounds – linked to a game it’s publishing.<\/p>\n

It seems “someone” is offering a beta test opportunity for MegaWobble’s Lil Gator Game<\/a>. scheduled to be released on the Nintendo Switch and multiple other platforms this year. Apparently, it’s actually a scam.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full rundown from Playtonic, advising players not to click any links provided in scam messages:<\/p>\n

“It has come to our attention that someone is offering beta testing for Lil Gator Game. We can confirm this is a SCAM and not from Playtonic or @LilGatorGame. If we were offering this to our communities we would announce it on our Twitter and not via any other channels.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
