As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say I am thoroughly excited for the return of Tomba! Special Edition this coming August. Back in the day, I remember playing the original on my trusty PlayStation console and being captivated by its unique blend of 2D principles in a 3D world. The game’s charming art style, engaging gameplay, and memorable characters left a lasting impression that still resonates with me today.
Sony’s vibrant platformer, Tomba! Special Edition, makes a comeback in August. As the popularity of platform games started dwindling, creator Tokuro Fujiwara went against the trend by introducing 3D landscapes to a genre primarily known for its 2D sprites. This decision has resulted in a game that continues to be relevant today. Here’s when you can get your hands on it and what features it offers.

What to expect from Tomba! Special Edition’s gameplay
In an interview with PlayStation, the creator of Tomba, Tokuro Fujiwara, explained that it’s a platformer game that uses 3D technology but follows the rules of 2D gaming, which is why it’s referred to as a 2.5D game. Although it has linear levels, the game provides an open-world sensation due to its quests and hidden areas. Additionally, you can choose to bypass certain main objectives while battling sneaky pigs throughout the game. Originally developed in 1997 by Whoopee Camp, the Special Edition offers enhancements thanks to the Carbon Engine, enabling it to run on platforms beyond PlayStation for the first time.
New features in Tomba! Special Edition
Although we’re not certain about all the specific advancements, the updated version is expected to deliver significant enhancements in user experience. Key features include the ability to save files anywhere, a rewind option, an analog control switch, and a vast library of new developer documents and guides. Additionally, it comes with an entirely revamped soundtrack.
