• Revamped Audio: The iconic “Snake Eater” theme song has been re-recorded by original vocalist Cynthia Harrell, offering a fresh yet familiar auditory experience.
• Mini-Games Return: The “Snake vs. Monkey” mini-game makes a comeback on PlayStation 5 and Windows versions, while Xbox Series X/S players will have access to a new “Snake vs. Bomberman” mode.
