RATATAN, the fast-paced, roguelike action game from developer Ratata Arts and publisher Game Source Entertainment, will be released on consoles in October and pre-orders are now live. The game is expected to launch in its full 1.0 form on October 15, 2026, for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, alongside its PC 1.0 version. Players who pre-order digitally ahead of launch will receive a 10% discount, bringing the Standard Edition down from $34.99 to $31.49 and the Deluxe Edition from $39.99 to $35.99.
The launch of version 1.0 promises to be an important milestone for the game, available in early access on Steam. The update will introduce Chapters 3 and 4, bringing the story to its conclusion with a final world and ultimate boss encounter. All of the “Dark Ratatans” present throughout the game thus far will also be reunited, marking what the developers describe as RATATAN reaching its full form. Further details on everything included in update 1.0 are available via the Steam Community page.
One of the most notable additions of the 1.0 launch is a live orchestral recording, which the team had previously promised fans. These recordings are now complete and will be integrated into the game at launch. The developers have kept the details of where these tracks appear deliberately vague, encouraging players to discover the moments for themselves during gameplay.
The Deluxe Edition includes a handful of extras beyond the base game, such as a Special Weapons and Accessories Pack, a Cobun Pack, and a Supplies Set. Both editions also feature an early purchase bonus in the form of the legendary weapon “Spirit Sword Banbansord”. Steam Early Access players will have this bonus automatically added to their game at launch, with the Deluxe Edition DLC available for separate purchase from release day.
Alongside the pre-order announcement, details about RATATAN’s presence at Tokyo Game Show 2026, which takes place from September 17 to 21, were also shared. For the latest information on the game and its 1.0 launch, players can keep an eye on the official Steam Community page for patch notes, which are expected to go live the day before the October 15 release.
