Mark your calendars for October 24, 2025, when the game launches on Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This marks the first major console installment in over a decade, following the Apple Arcade-exclusive Katamari Damacy Rolling Live earlier this year.
The King of All Cosmos is back to his usual chaotic self, this time obliterating not just Earth but also the moon and countless stars. Players will guide the Prince through a time-hopping adventure spanning the Jurassic Period, Ice Age, historic Japan, and Ancient Rome. New gameplay mechanics spice things up, including a magnet for attracting objects, a rocket for speed boosts, and a timer that freezes both moving items and time itself.
Character customization takes center stage with 69 playable cousins, yes, including the Prince, ranging from bizarre to downright hilarious. Expect everything from a two-person horse costume to a sentient cactus and a walking mushroom. Multiplayer fans can dive into KatamariBall, an online mode supporting up to four players rolling together.
Music lovers will appreciate the eclectic soundtrack featuring artists like Chelmico (known for Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken‘s opening) and Daoko (of Me!Me!Me! fame). Their track Katamari Time! sets the tone in the game’s vibrant trailer.
With its blend of nostalgic charm and fresh twists, Once Upon A Katamari promises to deliver the same addictive rolling gameplay fans adore. For more highlights from Nintendo’s latest showcase, explore our breakdown of the biggest announcements.
