Bandai Namco is making Once Upon a Katamari for Nintendo Switch, the company just announced. It’ll be out on October 24, 2025.
This is the first new entry in the Katamari Damacy series in fourteen years. The King of All Cosmos has accidentally destroyed the Earth and stars once again, so players will need to restore the starry sky by rolling their Katamari across time itself, collecting objects through history as they visit the Jurassic Period, the Ice Age, historic Japan and more. Those who have save data from either Katamari Damacy Reroll or We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie can unlock a playable Young King once the game launches.
