Gameplay
''New Super Lucky's Tale is a platform game in which players control Lucky as he travels across many different worlds contained within an artifact known as the Book of Ages.

Foxington, a world containing challenge stages that was part of the Guardian Trials DLC in Super Lucky's Tale'', is also included and unlocked after completing the main game. ==Plot==
Plot
The plot outline of ''New Super Lucky's Tale is loosely based on the original Super Lucky's Tale, where Lucky Swiftail embarks on a quest to help his sister Lyra, a member of the Guardian Order, to protect the Book of Ages, inside of which exist entire worlds and characters. New Super Lucky's Tale'' includes additional backstory about other members of Lucky's family, which include his parents and brother, who all belong to the Guardian Order. The sorcerer Jinx is a Guardian and close friend of Lucky's father Liam. When his world inexplicably vanishes, leaving him and his children the Kitty Litter as its lone survivors, he betrays and banishes the other Guardians to unknown worlds in a bid to claim the Book of Ages for himself. The few remaining guardians, including Lyra and Lucky, flee with the Book and avoid the Kitty Litter for years until they are finally cornered in Lucky's home world of Foxington. The Book of Ages reacts to Jinx's magic by scattering its pages and pulling the Kitty Litter and Lucky into itself. With assistance and guidance offered by the friends he meets inside the Book, Lucky collects the missing pages to reopen the portals to the other worlds. Along the way, he faces off against members of the Kitty Litter, including Master Mittens, a strategic cat capable of teleportation; Tess the Tinker, a hyper intelligent but frantic scientist; General Buttons, an abnormally small and battle-minded cat; Lt. Fluffinstuff, Buttons' unintelligent but physically imposing sidekick; and Lady Meowmalade, a toxic social media influencer. When Lucky reaches Jinx's Castle, Lyra appears and asks him to give her the Book of Ages, but this is revealed to be an illusion by Jinx. He steals the Book and explains that he allowed Lucky to gather the pages on his behalf, intending to use it to rewrite history. Lucky battles and defeats Jinx, who is imprisoned along with his children, and reunites with Lyra and the Guardians in Foxington. In the post-game content, Lucky undertakes the trials to become a Guardian, and is formally inducted into the order. Elsewhere, Mittens is revealed to have evaded capture and frees his family with assistance from Lucas, the missing brother of Lucky and Lyra. ==Development and release==
