Earlier this year, it was announced the team behind the Patapon would be releasing a new rhythm side-scroller roguelike on the Switch in 2025 called Ratatan.
Following the successful Kickstarter, we've now got a brand new reveal trailer showcasing a good chunk of gameplay.
"For everyone's convenience, here is the new trailer for Ratatan! All together...Rattata! Rattata! Rattatatta~~~!"
As previously noted, Ratatan delivers solo and multiplayer roguelike rhythm action for up to four players. You can also engage in "huge melee brawls" featuring more than 100 characters duking it out.
Ratatan is diving onto the roguelike scene in this combination of rhythm and side-scroller action. Players can move to the groove alone or team up with friends in multiplayer mayhem suitable for up to four players! Engage in huge melee brawls with more than 100 characters duking it out for supremacy. Defeat your enemies by riding the rhythm of Ratatan's catchy, toe-tapping soundtrack in this delightful, heartfelt adventure!

Feel the beat and use rhythm commands in time with the music to order your Cobun in the direction you want them to go. The Ratatan can be moved freely, so use your better judgment to decide where best to give orders, where to stand when on the offensive, and when to retreat. A sense of rhythm and strategy is crucial in order to survive long adventures while losing as few Cobun as possible!
Keep to the beat and your party will enter FEVER MODE, a feature no good rhythm game can do without! Feel the vibes shift as the background music dynamically changes and your Cobun erupt in a flurry of frenzied dance moves that'll really get the heart pumping! And if everyone's party goes into FEVER MODE at the same time, you'll really bring the house down!

@Zeebor15 What does hong kong have to do with this game?
I can't wait for this to come out and I've been waiting even when it was on Kickstarter they made an old game for the PSP running the same kind of system of rhythm should be good though.
I'm very excited for this. I'm a massive fan of the Patapon series, so I look forward to it. So sad that Sony just pushed all these creative minds aside, but it's great that they're finding new projects that they want to make and the means to do it.
@Samalik the publisher is from Hong Kong. So the sales don't go directly to the CCP; only the corporate taxes do, which is the same level of forced financial support every erocam consumer good comes with anyway.
That is to say, Patapon 4 is still in the clear.
Supported this on Kickstarter, looking forward to it whenever it comes out!
@JohnnyMind How cool, me too, I'm waiting for my physical edition somewhere next year 😍
Really happy how the trailer turned out too!
I've been listening to some audio clips on Youtube, it just puts a big smile on my face, only want to sing along XD
@Yalloo Nice, I went for the Digital Deluxe (surprisingly more expensive than the physical edition not including shipping, usually it's the other way around) for the digital artbook and especially OST and yep, this trailer was great!
Really can't wait for this game. The Patapon series is one of my favorite game series.
With this and KoRobo the Chibi Robo successor I'm interested to see how things go. I need to get back into Patapon/Loco Roco really I tried them, but really need to give them a further go. I appreciate them but really need to try more with them.
Between this and the Chibi-Robo spiritual successor, it's nice and interesting to see many devs becoming independent and making new projects based on previously dormant IPs from big companies.
