Katamari Damacy Reroll is officially coming to PlayStation 4, and fans will be able to start playing it as soon as November 20th. This comes as a somewhat unexpected announcement, as many fans of the original game didn't even know that Katamari wasn't on PS4 yet. Nevertheless, this PS2 classic will roll its way onto the current gen console soon, but there's no word about a PS5 release or backwards compatibility.
For those that aren't familiar with the bizarre experience that is Katamari Damacy, it will see players rolling around urban landscapes, collecting objects in an effort to reconstitute stars destroyed by the player character's father, the King of All Cosmos. If that sounds insane, it should, as the game rarely clings to realism in any form, instead opting to go for a whimsical and stylized adventure.
The trailer below shows off some of the gameplay elements that are new to the PS4 version, including fine tuned controls to make rolling around easier and full HD graphics. The game will be available for $29.99, and will provide players with the full Katamari experience that started a franchise.
Fan response to this announcement is overwhelmingly positive, though there are a few points of confusion. The trailer doesn't explain much about how the controls have changed, especially since Katamari Damacy Reroll was remastered for Switch in 2018 without any significant changes. What's more, many find it odd that the game is releasing on PS4 over a week after the PS5 releases and a day after its release worldwide. These questions and more will likely be answered in the coming weeks.
Katamari Damacy Reroll will be available on PS4 on November 20th.
