Patapon Fans, Get Hyped! Ratatan Pre-Orders Are Kicking Off for Physical Copies!
Bros and sisters of the gaming world, get ready for some seriously good news! If you’ve ever marched to the beat of the legendary Patapon series, then you’re in for a treat. The mastermind behind those iconic rhythm-action games is back with a brand-new title called Ratatan, and guess what? Pre-orders for some versions are officially live!
This isn’t just another game; Ratatan is shaping up to be a rhythmic roguelike action experience that promises to get your fingers tapping and your head bopping. Mark your calendars, because this highly anticipated title is set to launch on July 16th for PlayStation 5, the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
For those who love having a physical copy in their collection, there’s some exciting news! The Standard Physical Edition of Ratatan is available for pre-order right now for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, priced at around $40. And here’s the kicker: if you pre-order this physical version, you’ll snag an exclusive in-game weapon – the formidable Legendary Spirit Sword Banbansord! Imagine wielding that beauty from day one!
Good news for Switch 2 owners too: the physical edition for the new Nintendo console appears to be a full game cartridge. That means you get all the game data directly on the cart, no hefty downloads or internet connection needed to start playing right out of the box. Super convenient, right?
Now, if you’re more into digital downloads, don’t fret! A Digital Standard Edition will also be available for around $35 across all platforms. Plus, a more premium Digital Deluxe Edition, priced at about $40 (the same as the physical standard), is also on the way. The Deluxe version promises to pack in even more exclusive in-game content and has also been confirmed to include the Legendary Spirit Sword Banbansord as a bonus. However, pre-orders for both digital editions aren’t live just yet, but keep an eye out!
PC gamers who just can’t wait to jump into the action can already grab the Early Access version on Steam for about $25. It’s a great way to get a head start, but do note that the Early Access version currently doesn’t include the Banbansord sword bonus. But hey, getting to play sooner might just be its own reward!
So, there you have it, folks! Whether you’re a long-time Patapon fan or just looking for your next rhythm-action fix, Ratatan looks like it’s going to deliver. Which version are you eyeing? Let us know in the comments!
