Lucky learns that Lady Meowmalade, a member of the Kitty Litter who is at large after Jinx's defeat, is celebrating the release of her latest single and hijacked the island, which he must now help liberate.

[10] New Super Lucky's Tale, an expanded version of the game, was later released for Nintendo Switch on November 8, 2019, and for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on August 21, 2020.

[11][12] Ryan McCaffrey from IGN gave a mediocre rating, and said that "poor controls and a lousy camera doom the otherwise adorable-critter platformer".

McCaffrey found it particularly disappointing as he very much wanted to like the character and the concept of the game as the Xbox brand "could use a decent answer to Nintendo in the 3D platformer genre".

[17] Kallie Plagge from GameSpot found the game to be somewhat generic, noting its limited camera controls to be frustrating and added: "It's easy to imagine how Super Lucky's Tale would be the highlight of a younger kid's weekend, but it has little to offer anyone looking for an enjoyably challenging 3D platformer".

[16] Cody Perez from GameRevolution rated the game positively and considered Super Lucky's Tale to be another example of the 3D platformer genre's "renaissance of sorts" in the year 2017.

[13] Nevertheless, Carter's criticisms about the game included an underwhelming "reward loop", and a lack of quality of life features as he struggled to keep himself informed with his progress for collectible items that he may have missed out on.

He summarized that ultimately, Super Lucky's Tale is "unrealized potential" when it could have served as a solid entry point for a new franchise.

[14] For Carsillo, Lucky's cute and colorful world is held back by the game's "poor controls, a terrible camera, and just overall lackluster gameplay".
