Released

Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return, known as Tombi! 2 in Europe, is an action-adventure platform video game developed and published by Whoopee Camp for the PlayStation. The game was released in Japan in 1999 and internationally by Sony Computer Entertainment the following year. The game is a sequel to Tomba! and centers on the exploits of the eponymous feral child as he attempts to rescue his friend Tabby from an evil race of anthropomorphic pigs.

While Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return retains the basic game mechanics and "event" system of its predecessor, it features the additions of fully 3D environments and an assortment of collectible suits that augment Tomba's abilities. The game was received positively by critics, with particular praise going to the gameplay variety, controls, and visuals. Reception to the audio was mixed, and criticism was directed at the large number of tedious events and simplistic, repetitive boss battles. Whoopee Camp disbanded following the game's lackluster commercial performance, relegated to holding Fujiwara's assets.
