A fan-favorite 1999 PS1 exclusive game is headed to the PS5 in two weeks with new features, publisher Limited Run Games has announced. Platform adventure Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return is headed to all current-gen platforms except Xbox. Unfortunately, however, its previously planned PS4 version has been canceled.
PS1 classic game Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return gets PS5 Special Edition this month
Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition will release on December 15 for $19.99. It’s unclear why the game’s PS4 version has been canceled, considering its Switch version is still on and offers cross-buy with Switch 2.
Developed by the original studio Whoopee Camp, Tomba 2 comes with the following new features:
- Save Anywhere! There’s no longer any need to make frequent trips to save points.
- Rewind! If you miss a jump or get hit, no problem, you can try again!
- A museum chock full of classic original packaging and manuals, advertisements, merchandise photos, previously unseen game design documents, and high-resolution original artwork.
The original Tomba 2 released to positive reviews. Back then, our sister site GameRevolution awarded it a B grade, praising the fun gameplay and improvements over the original. However, Tomba 2 earned some criticisms for issues like tricky camera angles.
