Publisher Game Source Entertainment, alongside developers TVT and Ratata Arts, has released a new gameplay trailer for Ratatan, a rhythmic roguelike action game, during the ID@Xbox Showcase. The game, set to launch in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam, combines rhythm-based gameplay with side-scrolling action.
Ratatan is a rhythmic roguelike action game developed in collaboration with Hiroyuki Kotani, the game designer behind the beloved PATAPON series. You take on the role of the Ratatan, using magical instruments to command armies of Cobun in battle. By following rhythmic sequences, you deliver commands to attack, defend, and perform unique character skills, creating a dynamic blend of music and action.
The game also features richly detailed graphics and a variety of characters, thanks to Nelnal, the illustrator and character designer. The addition of new content, including multiplayer mini-games and a brand-new system, further enhances the experience. Utilizing TVT’s proprietary “Theory Engine,” Ratatan promises a fast and stable environment for online multiplayer, making it a perfect choice for co-op gaming.
