Today, Ratata Arts has announced some important information for Ratatan, its upcoming rhythm roguelike that’s the spiritual successor to Patapon, which is set to enter Early Access this week.
During a special pre-release live stream on the AGRS YouTube channel, an Early Access roadmap was detailed, and it’ll be broken into three major updates. Alongside this, there will be plenty of smaller additional patches which will feature various system modifications and improvements based on user feedback.
The three updates will be separated into Late October, December, and Spring 2026, with each introducing new gameplay elements, like SUPER FEVER skills, Dark Ratatan, and even Pets. You can see a breakdown of what is coming, alongside the full livestream, right below:
Late October
- SUPER FEVER skills
- Ratatan upgrades
- Headwear for Cobun
- Random events
December
- Dark Ratatan
- New scenarios
Spring 2026
- Console compatibility
- New World
- Pets
Alongside the roadmap, it was also revealed that Ratatan will be available on PC for $24.99. As you can see above, a console version of the game is also planned for Spring 2026, but no exact price point has been announced.
Much like its predecessor, Ratatan will focus heavily on unique rhythmic action gameplay, but this time, throwing in a roguelike twist. Players will compete in intense battles that unfold with over 100 characters fighting in a massive melee, as you’ll defeat enemies by riding the rhythm of Ratatan’s catchy, toe-tapping soundtrack.
The story follows an island of strange animal-like creatures called Ratatan, who live happily with their friends, despite their different appearances and personalities. Each of them shares a common dream: to go to “The Everafter”. And meet “The Goddess,” who is said to live in there.
