Sony's Patapon 1+2 Replay Heads to Multiple Platforms in July

The remastered collection marks the first time the cult-classic rhythm series will be available outside PlayStation, with new accessibility features included.

Patapon 1+2 Replay is set to release on July 11, 2025, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC, marking the series' multiplatform debut.
Sony has licensed the Patapon franchise to Bandai Namco, reflecting its strategy to expand smaller IPs beyond PlayStation platforms.
The remaster includes new accessibility features, such as adjustable difficulty settings and on-screen command displays to aid gameplay.
Patapon originally launched on the PlayStation Portable in 2007 and 2008, gaining a cult following for its rhythm-based gameplay and unique art style.
This announcement aligns with a broader industry trend of reduced console exclusivity, as seen with other former PlayStation exclusives like Freedom Wars and Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots.
