Rhythm-action fans have something new to look forward to this summer. Ratatan, the upcoming rhythm-based roguelike action game, is officially getting a physical release on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, with pre-orders now live ahead of launch.
Set to release on July 16, 2026, Ratatan blends music-driven gameplay with side-scrolling action and roguelike mechanics, creating a fast-paced experience built around timing, movement, and large-scale battles.
Physical Edition Pre-Orders Now Available
Players wanting a boxed copy can now secure their copy through Amazon UK:
• [Ratatan PlayStation 5 Physical Edition](https://amzn.to/3QZA62p) – £34.99
• [Ratatan Nintendo Switch 2 Physical Edition](https://amzn.to/4cJSeop) – £39.99
What Is Ratatan?
Ratatan throws players into a colourful world where combat is driven by rhythm. Every movement and attack is tied to the beat, rewarding players who stay in sync with the soundtrack as they navigate chaotic battles.
The game also introduces roguelike progression, meaning each run can feel different, with changing encounters and new challenges as players push forward.
According to the official description:
"Ratatan is diving onto the roguelike scene in this combination of rhythm and side-scroller action. Players can move to the groove alone or team up with friends in multiplayer mayhem suitable for up to four players! Engage in huge melee brawls with more than 100 characters duking it out for supremacy. Defeat your enemies by riding the rhythm of Ratatan’s catchy, toe-tapping soundtrack in this delightful, heartfelt adventure!"
Solo Play or Four-Player Multiplayer
Whether playing solo or with friends, Ratatan appears designed for both quick sessions and chaotic co-op fun. Support for up to four players should make its large battles even more frantic, especially with more than 100 characters on screen fighting for control.
A Game to Watch in 2026
With its unique mix of rhythm gameplay, roguelike systems, and side-scrolling action, Ratatan stands out as one of the more interesting indie releases arriving this year. The new physical editions on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 will also be welcome news for collectors who still prefer owning their games on disc or cartridge.
