Krome Studios is proud to announce that their award-winning game, TY: The Tasmanian Tiger, is coming to PlayStation4 systems on July 25, 2020.
Return to your favourite Aussie mates with this nostalgic re-mastering of the platformer-genre classic.
“TY the Tasmanian Tiger started out as a PS2 Project,” says Lindsay Parmenter, Studio Director at Krome Studios. “We’re excited to be bringing TY back to the PlayStation platform.” Now you can measure your progress against your friends with trophies and leaderboards on your quest for the new Platinum trophy.
Join TY on a ripper of an adventure to collect the 5 mystical talismans to free his family from the “dreaming” and stop the evil genius Cassowary, Boss Cass. To help you on your quest, you’ve got a beaut of an arsenal complete with boomerangs, sharp teeth, and the help of a few friends!
Immerse yourself exploring 17 levels of iconic Australian Outback. Use 13 different boomerangs including the Frostyrang, Flamerang and powerful Doomerang, to knock out enemies and complete missions. With improved graphics, including updated shadows, reflections, HD resolutions and 60 FPS smoothness, you’ll be drenched in Aussie-ness.
TY the Tasmanian Tiger is Krome Studios’ charming Australiana-themed video game that debuted in 2002 for PlayStation®2 systems, Nintendo GameCube™, and Xbox™.

Thanks to the incredible support of the TY fan community, TY the Tasmanian Tiger HD was made possible through a tremendously successful Kickstarter campaign last year.
