Ratatan Full Release Delayed From July 16 to October 15
Publisher Game Source Entertainment and developer Ratata Arts announced on June 25 that the full release of the rhythm roguelike action game Ratatan has been postponed from July 16 to October 15, 2026. The delay affects all planned platforms: PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S. According to the announcement, the development team is using the additional time to improve online play stability and fix bugs based on feedback from the Steam Early Access version, which launched in September 2024. Final adjustments are also being made for each console version to ensure stable quality. Ratatan is a spiritual successor to the Patapon series, created by Hiroyuki Kotani. As compensation for the delay, customers who pre-ordered the physical edition will receive a DLC code containing a Kobun Set, a Weapon & Accessory Set, and a Growth Material Set, matching the digital Deluxe edition bonuses. The DLC code is limited to initial pre-orders. The game is currently available in Early Access on Steam for 2,800 yen, with a potential price increase upon full release.
