Bandai Namco and RENGAME have announced that action puzzle game Once Upon a Katamari, the first new entry in the Katamari Damacy series in 14 years, will launch for Switch 2 in early October. The Switch game will also receive an update. New paid DLC—Rolling LIVE Highlights—will launch the same day. The DLC includes new quests, new cousins, and more.

In the game, the King of All Cosmos fiddles around, accidentally destroying the Earth and stars. The Prince must roll their katamari across time itself to rebuild the night sky. Collect objects during the Jurassic Period, the Ice Age, historic Japan, and more. Play as the Prince or one of their 68 cousins, or create your own unique character.

Switch 2 players can purchase Once Upon a Katamari as a “physical” game key card bundle with the Rolling LIVE Highlights DLC. Digitally, it will be available as the base game and bundled with the DLC.
