New PS1 Remaster Release Sparks Backlash From Fans

A recent announcement of a remastered version of the classic PlayStation game Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return has upset some fans. Limited Run Games revealed they’ll be releasing the updated game, which was originally announced in 2024 but hadn’t had a firm release date until now. While many are happy to revisit Tomba 2, the news hasn’t been universally well-received.

Since its release yesterday, many players have expressed disappointment with the new version of Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return. Although the gameplay remains solid, the main issue for fans is the music. This version includes the soundtrack from the original Japanese release, rather than the one familiar to players in the United States and Europe.

While it might seem minor, many players bought this new version of Tomba 2 hoping to relive fond memories. Because the original game’s music played a big part in that nostalgia, its absence has upset a lot of people. In fact, Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition currently has a “Mostly Negative” rating on Steam based on player reviews.

Developer Responds to Frustrated Fans

Good news for fans! Limited Run Games has addressed concerns about the Tomba 2: Special Edition soundtrack. They announced on social media that a new update, planned for release on all platforms in the next few weeks, will let players choose between the Japanese and US versions of the soundtrack.

Limited Run Games announced that they’re updating the classic game Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Returns thanks to their dedicated Carbon team. This patch is designed to improve the experience for fans, letting them play the game as they remember it. It will include both the original Japanese and US soundtracks and is expected to be released on all platforms in the next few weeks. The company emphasized that their fans are their top priority.

We’re hoping the next update for Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition will fix the issues fans have been experiencing with the remastered version. Once those problems are resolved, players who were hesitant to buy the game should feel more confident about getting it.
