It’s Tomba time (again). Limited Run Games announced Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition way back in June 2024, and while a good chunk of time has passed us by since then (including a rather buggy release of its platforming predecessor), the release date is almost upon us!

It feels like only yesterday semiwork announced that the team would be taking a break before working on the next update. Which isn’t actually entirely inaccurate as it’s been less than a month and we’re already got the first video about the next release. So, it looks like we won’t have to wait too long…
Happy birthday, but also why? Has it really been eight entire years? Yes, it really actually has, so sit up and pay attention at the back.
