Explore History in “Once Upon A Katamari” on Nintendo Switch

Alright, so Bandai Namco, those folks we all know for their quirky games, just kinda dropped this bomb. Outta nowhere, they’re like, “Hey, remember Katamari? It’s back!” And, man, it’s been what? 14 years? Yeah, seriously, since we last saw something fresh from the Katamari universe.

So get this, the King of All Cosmos—yep, that eccentric dude—weirdly managed to wreck the Earth and stars. Again. Classic King, right? Now, we’re on a mission with the Prince, rolling that sticky ball across different eras. Like, dinosaurs? Ice Age? Ancient Japan? It’s a historical hodgepodge. And there’s this funky new magnet thingy that, I guess, helps you snag stuff. Shiny stuff, obviously!

The player lineup’s pretty wild too. Wanna be the Prince? Sure, but there are 68 other weirdos—er, cousins—you could pick. You’re all up for a makeover with colors and goofy faces. So, variety’s the spice here, I guess?

And they’re going multiplayer too, with this KatamariBall thing. Four players trying to make these gigantic, maybe useless, but kind of epic balls for points. Fast-paced, time-limited madness! Whether you’re squaring off against pals online or the CPU offline, it’s bound to get chaotic.

Oh, here’s a neat bit—if you’ve been playing the previous versions, like Katamari Damacy REROLL or whatever, you can unlock this Young King dude when the game hits. A bit of a nod to the fans, I guess?

Mark your calendars—or don’t, I won’t remember—but October 24, 2025, is when it all drops. Physical or digital, there’s gonna be enough Katamari chaos for all on the Nintendo Switch.

And that’s about it! Just waiting for the trailer and some teaser screenshots to see what’s really up. Probably gonna be bonkers, though. So, let’s see what happens.
