Tomba will be making his long awaited return when the original PS1 classic gets released onto PSN this summer. The game is being brought back to life by Monkey Paw Games, which specializes in releasing classic games on current gen systems as downloadable games. The original was developed by Whoopee Camp and published by Sony, and after acquiring the rights from both companies, Monkey Paw set its sights on PSN.

This is undoubtedly welcome news to fans of the series, who have not seen an incarnation of the series since the release of Tomba 2 on the PS1. Its release on PSN does not have an exact date as of yet, but when it gets one, we will most certainly announce it here.
