Paris, May 16th, in the year of our Lord 2019 - After a successful launch on Nintendo Switch last November, Toki's remake is now making its way to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC/Mac with a launch date set for the 6th of June 2019! The game will be available digitally on all platforms and physically as a standard edition for the PlayStation 4. The game is welcoming new features like a speedrun mode and a jukebox, see the full details below.

• NEW GAME MODE: For the first time, Toki will offer a speedrun mode, accessible from the beginning of the game and available in every difficulty settings.

o 32 music tracks in total

Initially released in 1989 on arcade, this cult 2D action platformer seduced a whole generation of players with its challenging difficulty. The remake of this arcade classic has been completely redrawn and re-orchestrated by Philippe Dessoly and Pierre Adane, the architects behind the original Amiga conversion of the game back in the 1990’s. "After the Retrollector edition’s success, released on November 22nd, a physical and digital release on the other existing platforms seemed appropriate. We wanted all players to discover both the fun and the difficulty that Toki has to offer. We hope that the remarkable work done on this remake will delight both the old and the new generation!" reveal Elliot Grassiano, Vice-President at Microïds

Toki’s story:
Toki the warrior lived peacefully in the jungle with his sweetheart Miho. Appearing out of nowhere, the terrifying voodoo sorcerer Vookimedlo and heinous demon Bashtar kidnap Miho and turn the poor Toki into a chimpanzee! Unfortunately for his sweetheart, he has become a hairy, lethargic ape…

The former warrior must get used to his new form and, deprived of his traditional weapons, use his powerful jaw to spit strange projectiles at his enemies. During his adventure, Toki will find objects that will help him complete his quest, from a football helmet to a pair of flippers and snorkel.
