As part of a Limited Run Games showcase, it's been revealed the classic PS1 platformer Tomba! is being ported to PS5 and PS4. Using the publisher's Carbon Engine, it'll use a new soundtrack from Fujita Harumi, who composed the original back in 1997. With a digital version for the PS Store announced alongside a physical edition from Limited Run Games, check out the trailer above.
The company PR reveals: «Our favorite pink-haired, high-jumping jungle boy is back! We're working with creator Tokuro Fujiwara to bring the beloved platformer Tomba to modern consoles via the Carbon Engine, with a new soundtrack by the legendary Fujita Harumi.»
