Preorders for Ratatan, the upcoming rhythmic roguelike action game from the creator of the Patapon series, are officially live. Developed by Ratata Arts, the title is scheduled to launch on July 16 for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
Exclusive Ratatan Preorder Bonuses
Players looking to secure their Ratatan preorders can snag some special in-game loot. Preordering the physical version of the game unlocks a unique weapon: the Legendary Spirit Sword Banbansord.
This extra item is included with both the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 physical editions. While developer Ratata Arts has confirmed this bonus will also be part of the upcoming Digital Deluxe Edition, preorders for that specific tier are not yet live. It does not appear that this bonus is included in the current Steam Early Access release.
Comparing Ratatan Editions and Pricing
If you are a PC player who doesn't want to wait for the official launch, you can grab the Steam Early Access version right now for just $25. For console enthusiasts, a $40 physical standard edition is available at Best Buy for both PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version appears to be a traditional game cartridge rather than a digital key-card. This means you will receive all the necessary game data on the cart, allowing for "out of the box" play without mandatory downloads or an internet connection.
Here is a breakdown of the available versions:
- Steam Early Access: $25 (Available now)
- Physical Standard Edition: $40 (Includes Banbansord bonus)
- Digital Standard Edition: $35 (Preorders coming soon)
- Digital Deluxe Edition: $40 (Includes extra in-game items)
While digital preorders for the standard and deluxe editions are not yet live, you can expect listings to appear on all platforms ahead of the July 16 release date. We will provide updates as more information regarding retailer listings becomes available.
