The Patapon franchise is finally branching out beyond the PlayStation brand with the release of Patapon 1+2 Replay on PC and select consoles, including the Nintendo Switch. This marks a new era for the beloved series, which has been revamped for modern gaming platforms.
Patapon 1+2 Replay is now available to purchase, priced at $29.99 across all platforms, bringing together remastered versions of the classic Patapon titles from the PSP era. The game offers approximately 60 hours of gameplay, depending on playstyle.
The re-release boasts several novelties and quality-of-life improvements, including difficulty settings (Easy, Normal, Hard) and adjustable button press timing. This release aims to deliver an authentic Patapon experience while also introducing new features to enhance gameplay.
In the near future, a remaster of Patapon 3 may be considered if the re-release is successful, as well as the spiritual successor Ratatan, which is set to launch in early access on July 25.
The series has now joined other classic PlayStation IPs like Freedom Wars in going multi-platform via remasters. With its modernized version released earlier this year, Patapon fans can rejoice knowing that their beloved franchise is expanding its reach beyond Sony platforms.
