Do you hear that flitter-flatter and pitter-patter? It’s the sound of Toki Tori 2+ coming to PlayStation 4, as a boxed version and a digital version, on the PlayStation Store. Two Dutch game companies work together to make this happen: original developer Two Tribes and SOEDESCO, which takes care of the retail release.
Who are these Two Tribes guys?
Two Tribes is a Dutch game developer that has existed for over ten years. Its debut was Toki Tori on the Game Boy Color in 2001, published by Capcom®, which was later remade for the Wii as one of the first WiiWare titles in 2008. This was later followed by the independently published Toki Tori 2.
So what’s Toki Tori 2+?
Five Ancient Frogs, scattered across the countryside, send a telepathic message to Toki Tori. It’s hard to see how this young chicken could help them destroy the floating crystal endangering everything… but he’s their only hope.
Toki Tori 2+ may look cute, but it’s a challenging puzzle adventure game. Whistle and stomp are the only moves you need to solve increasingly complex puzzles, as you manipulate strange critters’ behaviour and go anywhere, anytime on a lush forest island.
§ A unique take on the Metroidvania formula: progress by exploring, observing and experimenting

§ Whistle songs for special abilities, including rewind and fast travel
