Once Upon A Katamari Preorders Are Now Live On Consoles And PC

After 14 long years, Katamari Damacy is finally getting a brand-new console game when Once Upon A Katamari launches for PS5, Xbox, Switch, and PC on October 24. The new sequel features the signature ball-rolling gameplay the series is known for in a collection of new stages and–for the first time in a Katamari game–a competitive multiplayer mode. Several versions of the game are now up for preorder on consoles and PC, including a $40 standard edition and a $60 King of All Sounds Edition with a few bonuses. Grabbing a copy of either version early also gets you a few in-game bonuses.

Once Upon A Katamari Preorder Bonuses

Preorder any version of the game to unlock 3 Face customization parts. These parts can be unlocked through normal progression, but preordering gets them into your inventory earlier than usual.

Also, while not a preorder bonus, it’s worth noting that players with save data from either Katamari Reroll or We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie will unlock a playable Young King in Once Upon A Katamari.

$40 | Releases October 24

The Once Upon A Katamari standard edition includes the base game on your platform of choice. Physical preorders are available for $40 on PS5 and Switch at Amazon and Walmart.

Xbox players are currently stuck with digital preorders. PC players can also preorder the digital version, and those who want to save some cash can preorder the standard edition for just $33.59 at Fanatical.

$60 | Releases October 24

Once Upon A Katamari is also available in a $60 King of All Sounds Edition. This digital-only version includes the base game plus 60 extra song tracks and 26 costumes from previous entries. Digital preorders are available on console and PC. PC players will once again want to check out Fanatical’s preorder deal to snag a copy for just $50.39.

If you can’t wait until October to get your Katamari fix–or want to ensure you have the proper save data to unlock the Young King playable character in Once Upon A Katamari–you can grab Katamari Damacy Reroll and We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie on consoles and PC right now. In some cases, you can even grab a copy for less than $20. These are remasters of the first two games in the series, Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari, which released back on the PS2 in 2004 and 2005, respectively. The Reroll versions include enhanced graphics, gameplay tweaks, recreated HD cutscenes, and more.

While Once Upon A Katamari is the first all-new sequel in several years, the series has maintained a passionate cult following around the world thanks to its quirky humor and charming art style. Its popularity even extends beyond games, spawning numerous adaptations and spin-off media over the years–including an official webcomic chronicling the Prince of the Cosmos and his father’s strange adventures, which has been collected into a hardcover book featuring all 150 comic strips. There’s also the Katamari Damacy book written by L.E. Hall and published by Boss Fight Books that chronicles the game’s history and enduring legacy, and is a great read for fans who want to learn more about the game’s development and lasting impact on Japanese pop culture.
