Patapon comeback New game rumored in the works

Jan 09, 2024 1:52 PM

Sony PlayStation may be developing a new Patapon game, as hinted by a video during their CES press conference showcasing their range of technology. Footage resembling the Patapon series was displayed, and though Sony did not confirm whether it was for a testing project or a complete new game, the visual hints have left fans speculating. The original Patapon was a rhythm-based game for the PSP released in 2007, which was followed by two sequels and remasters for the PlayStation 4.

Additionally, the developers of the original Patapon previously revealed Ratatan, a spiritual successor, that secured successful crowdfunding. Sony also unveiled a new VR headset for high-end users at the CES event and announced a record number of active PlayStation Network users in December of the previous year.

Is a new Patapon game coming to PlayStation 5?

While Sony has not officially confirmed the development of a new Patapon game for the PlayStation 5, the footage shown at the CES event strongly suggests that a game resembling Patapon could be in the works.

Patapon is well-regarded for its unique blend of rhythm and strategy gameplay where players command a small army of creatures through rhythmic button presses to overcome enemies and obstacles. Its distinct art style and innovative mechanics have solidified its status as a cult classic. With the success of prior Patapon titles and the notable continuation of interest via Ratatan, the potential revival of Patapon for contemporary platforms could inject new life into this beloved series.
