Patapon 1+2 Remastered Edition Now Available on PS5 and Switch, PC Version Coming Soon

Bandai Namco Entertainment has officially released the PlayStation® and Nintendo Switch versions of “PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY,” a rhythm-based action game where players command mysterious, eyeball-like creatures called PATAPON by drumming four beats to give orders and embark on adventures. The PC version will launch on July 11, supporting Chinese language.

In this charming and enigmatic game, players use four drum beats — PATA, PON, DON, CHAKA — to direct the PATAPON tribe as they fly, march forward, defend, cheer, and shout their way toward the “end of the world.”

Each PATAPON has unique traits and roles, such as the flag bearer PON who leads the group, the shield soldier PON who protects allies with a giant shield, and the archer PON who attacks enemies from afar. Players must strategically assemble a team that leverages these diverse abilities to overcome various challenges.

The remastered edition bundles the original “Patapon” (2007) and “Patapon 2” (2008) into one value-packed set. The gameplay remains simple yet deep, requiring players to time their drum commands carefully and form effective squads to conquer levels.

Players can enhance their PATAPON by combining different items, collecting rare materials through stages and mini-games, and equipping from over 400 weapons and gear. This allows for personalized, powerful teams to face a variety of traps and formidable foes.

New features include adjustable difficulty levels (normal, easy, hard), input timing customization, and on-screen drum command displays, making the game more accessible while preserving its original charm.

As the “God” of the PATAPON tribe, players lead their army on an epic journey to the world’s end, enjoying a fresh yet nostalgic experience of this beloved rhythm-action classic.
