Tomba Special Edition Confirms Gameplay Enhancements on PS5, PS4 | Push Square

Last week, Tomba Special Edition — a full re-release of the classic PS1 platforming adventure — nailed down an August launch date. However, additional details have been few and far between, with the official announcement simply stating that the Special Edition will boast «new features».

A little too much, some might say.

Was thinking about this game the other day. Used to play it on the VITA a lot. The perfect game for PS Portal or I'll end up getting it on Switch. Shame it's not a remaster though. Just need Hogs Of War remastered to hurry up and everything will be perfect.

@AFCC I feel ya; it was always one of those demo disc games like Pandemonium, Disney Hercules, Lifeforce Tenka and various others where I just played the demo over and over again, never buying the full
