Ratatan–a rhythmic roguelike action game from the creator of popular rhythm game series Patapon–is launching for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC on July 16. Console players eager to pick up the upcoming game can preorder it on all platforms, including a $40 physical release available on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 that comes with a special preorder bonus item. A Digital Deluxe Edition with even more exclsuive content will also be available on all platforms, though preorders aren’t live just yet. That said, PC players who don’t want to wait for the final release can grab the Early Access version on Steam right now for just $25.<\/p>\n
Ratatan Preorder Bonuses<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n
Preordering the physical version of Ratatan will unlock the Legendary Spirit Sword Banbansord in-game weapon<\/strong>. This extra item is included with the PS5 and Switch 2 physical editions. Developer Ratata Arts has also confirmed it will be a bonus for the upcoming Digital Deluxe Edition, though preorders for that version aren’t live. It does not appear to be part of the Steam Early access release. We’ll update this section if other preorder bonus information is announced.<\/p>\n

Ratatan Standard Edition <\/h2>\n
$40 | Releases July 16 <\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The standard physical edition of Ratatan includes the full base game on Switch or PS5. The Switch 2 version appears to be a normal game cartridge, not a Game Key-Card like other third-party Switch 2 releases, meaning you’re getting all the game data on the cart so you can play right out of the box with no downloads or internet connection required. Preordering this version also gets you the Legendary Spirit Sword Banbansword in-game item. You can secure your physical Switch 2 or PS5 copy for $40 at Best Buy. A $35 digital standard edition will also be available on all platforms, though digital preorders are not yet available. We’ll be sure to update once listings go live at other retailers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
