<p><strong>Update:</strong> The Yooka-Laylee x Volta-X collab is now live! GungHo Online Entertainment America has shared all the details you need:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Introducing the playable crewmate, Yooka (with sidekick Laylee on his back) and a new story mission. You can now experience new, character-specific skills and abilities once the loveable duo join your team – no Play Coins required! Players will also receive two new weapons and the Emblem System as a part of a free content update.</p>
<p>Yooka is obtainable as a playable character after players complete a side mission in Episode 2. With his own personalised skills and unique special ability, Yooka is a force to be reckoned with in-battle. His main ability, “Slurp State,” allows Yooka to take on the properties of any elemental effect active in the room and imbue his next attack with that effect.</p>
<p>In addition to the collaboration, players will also receive a free content update with two new weapons and a new Emblem System:</p>
<p>– The <strong>Capital Ship</strong> takes up all four drone slots and summons a huge drone that works independently to attack different rooms in the opponent’s robot.<br />– The <strong>Dai Beam Cannon Weapon</strong> body weapon fires fast and doesn’t have a cooldown. However, use it with caution, as it can explode if it is used too much – or if someone uses fire or electricity to attack that room.<br />– The new <strong>Emblem System</strong> grants players special emblems for completing certain in-game achievements. Players can equip these emblems next to their names to show off to other players.</p>
