"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience"
by Ollie Reynolds · Nintendo LifeGame Source Entertainment and Ratata Arts have announced that the rhythm title Ratatan will be delayed from its initial July release. It's now scheduled to launch on 15th October 2026.
It sounds like development is pretty much done at this point, but work is still ongoing to ensure nasty bugs are squashed that that the Switch 2 title is as stable as possible. Much of this is based on feedback provided from the Steam Early Access release.

- Cobun Set (Cobun x8)
- Equipment & Accessories Set (Special Weapons x8 + Accessories x1)
- Supply Set
Here's what the companies stated in their announcement:
"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to our customers and stakeholders who have been eagerly awaiting the release of Ratatan. The entire development and production team is working together to improve the game, so that we can deliver it to you with the highest possible quality.
"We want to thank you for your support and your patience, we hope you understand that this extra time is needed to deliver at the level of quality the player expects and deserves."
