Ratatan, the Patapon Spiritual Successor, Delayed to October 15
Ratata Arts and TVT have delayed the release of 'Ratatan', a rhythm roguelike action game and spiritual successor to the 'Patapon' series, to October 15, 2026. The game was originally scheduled for July 16. The delay, roughly three months, was decided after the team reviewed the development and testing schedule. The developers are working on improvements based on feedback from the Steam Early Access version, with a focus on online play stability and bug fixes. Final quality adjustments for each console platform are also ongoing. Publisher Game Source Entertainment will include bonus DLC codes for physical pre-order customers: a Kobun Set (8 Kobun), a Weapon & Accessory Set (8 special weapons and 1 accessory), and a Growth Material Set. This bonus matches the digital deluxe version content. 'Ratatan' will launch on PC (Steam), PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S. The PS5 and Switch 2 physical version is priced at 7,018 yen, the digital standard edition at 6,160 yen, and the digital deluxe edition at 7,018 yen. The PC Early Access version remains available for 2,800 yen.
