Tippytap, badaboom and "Ratatan" across the battlefield in this latest roguelike adventure from the creators of the beloved rhythm classic, Patapon! March across the world of Redo, build your Cobun army, and combine forces with your closest chums to defeat any evildoers silly enough to stand in your way!

Players can move to the groove alone or team up with friends in online 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 soundtrack in this delightful, heartfelt adventure!

In the vast and peaceful sea lies Rataport, a vibrant island bustling with life. Here, the Ratatans, mysterious yet charming creatures, live in harmony with their friends. Though they differ in appearance and personality, they share a single dream: to journey to The Everafter and meet the legendary Goddess said to reside there. Fueled by hope, the Ratatans set out on their adventure, undeterred by failure, determined to one day stand before her.

The Ratatans are groove-loving adventurers that use the power of song and magical instruments called Melodium to command their armies of Cobun. Lead your troops by issuing rhythmic commands, guiding them through massive dynamic battles where strategic positioning, timely orders, and well-planned retreats will be the key to your success!

Ratatan's story finally approaches its conclusion for 1.0 launch this October! This update introduces the final world and the ultimate boss at the end of the journey.  Furthermore, all the "Dark Ratatans" that have appeared so far will assemble. After its Early Access phase, RATATAN is reaching its final, complete form.

The Journey Reaches Its Climax in Version 1.0

Version 1.0 will introduce Episodes 3 and 4, continuing the story that has unfolded so far.

The final world—the destination of this long journey—and the battle against the final boss await.

In addition, all of the Dark Ratatan, who have been introduced gradually throughout Early Access, will finally come together.

After growing and evolving together with all of you throughout Early Access, Ratatan is finally approaching its complete form.

And the orchestral recording we promised everyone has also become a reality.

We hope you'll play all the way to the end and discover for yourself how the orchestral music has been incorporated into the game.

Version 1.0 will also include many other new features and improvements.

Full details will be revealed in the release notes when Version 1.0 launches, so please look forward to them.

Regarding the Roadmap

Finally, we'd like to say a few words about the roadmap.

In the roadmap we originally shared, Version 1.0 was planned for around spring. Ultimately, however, we have kept everyone waiting much longer than originally anticipated.

A major factor was supporting multiple platforms.

Each platform presented its own issues that needed to be addressed, requiring repeated rounds of fixes, testing, and resubmissions. This took considerably more time than we initially expected.

Given the size of our team, developing Version 1.0 while simultaneously preparing the game for multiple platforms has also been a significant challenge.

We sincerely apologize for keeping everyone waiting.

In return for your patience, the entire team has continued working to the very end to deliver Version 1.0 of Ratatan in the best possible form.

Finally

Thank you so much for all of your support and feedback throughout Early Access.

By continuing to improve Ratatan together with all of you, we have finally reached Version 1.0.

The official release represents the culmination of everything we have built together so far.

At the same time, it marks a new beginning as we welcome players who will be experiencing Ratatan for the first time.

The entire team looks forward to seeing you in Version 1.0 on October 15!

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!

Ratatan makes use of charming 2D animation with movements filled with vivid personality. The Cobun, your faithful and lovable servants, will wibble-wobble as they follow your orders, while your enemies will try to intimidate with their often hilarious movements, breathing even more life into the world of Ratatan.

Now, what kind of troupe would you be leading without the perfect tune to march your minions to?! Worry not! We've got you covered with the perfect musical accompaniment by veteran composer Kemmei Adachi for crushing your enemies in a wave of adorable terror!

Ratatan features 100+ controllable characters, rhythm-driven combat, and a vibrant world of music, monsters, and multiplayer madness. The soundtrack features music by veteran composer Kemmei Adachi, with a special guest track by David Wise.

Ratatan is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on October 15, 2026.
