RataTEAM, hello!
Digital pre-orders for Ratatan are now open!
The Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S versions are now available for pre-order, and you can purchase them at 10% off throughout the pre-order period leading up to the official release.
After nearly a year in Early Access, Ratatan will finally reach Version 1.0 on October 15.
The official release is almost here!
The Journey Reaches Its Climax in Version 1.0
Version 1.0 will introduce Episodes 3 and 4, continuing the story that has unfolded so far.
The final world—the destination of this long journey—and the battle against the final boss await.
In addition, all of the Dark Ratatan, who have been introduced gradually throughout Early Access, will finally come together.
After growing and evolving together with all of you throughout Early Access, Ratatan is finally approaching its complete form.
And the orchestral recording we promised everyone has also become a reality.
We hope you'll play all the way to the end and discover for yourself how the orchestral music has been incorporated into the game.
Version 1.0 will also include many other new features and improvements.
Full details will be revealed in the release notes when Version 1.0 launches, so please look forward to them.

Regarding the Roadmap
Finally, we'd like to say a few words about the roadmap.
In the roadmap we originally shared, Version 1.0 was planned for around spring. Ultimately, however, we have kept everyone waiting much longer than originally anticipated.
A major factor was supporting multiple platforms.
Each platform presented its own issues that needed to be addressed, requiring repeated rounds of fixes, testing, and resubmissions. This took considerably more time than we initially expected.
Given the size of our team, developing Version 1.0 while simultaneously preparing the game for multiple platforms has also been a significant challenge.
We sincerely apologize for keeping everyone waiting.
In return for your patience, the entire team has continued working to the very end to deliver Version 1.0 of Ratatan in the best possible form.
Finally
Thank you so much for all of your support and feedback throughout Early Access.
By continuing to improve Ratatan together with all of you, we have finally reached Version 1.0.
The official release represents the culmination of everything we have built together so far.
At the same time, it marks a new beginning as we welcome players who will be experiencing Ratatan for the first time.
The entire team looks forward to seeing you in Version 1.0 on October 15!
