Ratatan drums up an official July 2026 release date for consoles and PC

We very much enjoyed the early access version of Ratatan (see our PC impressions from last September here), and we’re thankful that the title finally has a solid release date for consoles and the PC!

The July 16th, 2026 launch, which was announced during Nintendo Indie World Showcase this morning, was made official for the Switch 2, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and PC.  The early access version has been continually updated and improved since it first launched, so by July, we’re sure the experience will be as good as it’s gonna get.

Check out some new screens below!

Ratata Arts and TVT Co. are excited to announce that Ratatan, the rhythm roguelite action game from the creators of Patapon, will launch on 16th July worldwide for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

The release date was announced as part of today’s Nintendo Indie World Showcase which premiered the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Ratatan for the first time.

Ratatan is a rhythmic rogue-lite packed with beat-driven battles and colourful chaos. This exciting new release challenges players to build their own customisable Cobun army, march across the everchanging world of Redo and defeat any evildoers silly enough to stand in their way; supporting both single-player and multiplayer.

Ratatan first broke onto the scene back in 2023 with a record-breaking Kickstarter which attracted over 14,000 backers and raised over 1.4 million dollars (USD). In September, 2025 Ratatan launched on PC via Steam Early Access and accumulated over 100,000 sales in its first month. The development team, which features alumni of Sony Japan including Hiroyuki Kotani, has launched multiple free updates since September on PC with more content coming soon and the launch of the console versions represents the next big step for Ratatan.

TVT Studios and Ratata Arts sincerely thanks every fan for their support and kindly asks for patience as more information about Ratatan’s emergence on consoles will be released over the coming weeks.
