Announcement

The possibility of a possible revival of the Tomba franchise was first raised by an article on Exputer which noted trademark registrations in Europe and the US of the word mark "TOMBA!" by mobile game developer BBG Entertainment. This implied that a transfer of rights to the Tomba franchise from Whoopee Camp to BBG had occurred in 2021, but no announcement confirming or following up on this was ever made on the BBG website or to the press. Whoopee Camp's own US trademark had been considered abandoned since the year 2000 and had not shown signs of life since the studio's closure.
