Ratatan, a rhythm roguelike action game and spiritual successor to Patapon, has been delayed from July 16 to October 15, 2026, across all planned platforms.
Ratata Arts and TVT, with publisher Game Source Entertainment, delayed the full release of Ratatan from July 16 to October 15, 2026. The roughly three-month delay was announced on June 25 and affects every planned platform: PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S. The team cited the need to improve online play stability and fix bugs based on feedback from the Steam Early Access version, which launched in September 2024. Final quality adjustments for each console version are also ongoing.
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. That bonus matches the digital Deluxe edition content and is limited to initial pre-orders. The PC Early Access version remains available for 2,800 yen, with a potential price increase upon full release. 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.
Ratatan is a spiritual successor to the Patapon series, created by Hiroyuki Kotani. The game is a rhythm roguelike action title. The delay was decided after the team reviewed the development and testing schedule, prioritizing post-Early Access polish and community feedback before the full console launch.
