Classic PS1 Platformer Tomba! Arrives on PS5 in August | Push Square
Announced almost a whole year ago, PS1 platformer Tomba! is being revived as Tomba Special Edition — and now it's got a confirmed release date. It arrives for PS5 on the 1st August, with a promised PS4 version coming later.
The original game launched way back in 1997, and is fondly remembered to this day. It may not have had the mainstream pull of iconic PS1 platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, but there was an undeniable charm to its quirky pig-infested world. Honestly, we can't wait to play it again.
As reported in 2023, Tomba Special Edition is being released both digitally on the PS Store, and physically via Limited Run Games.
