Patapon 1+2 Replay comes to PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC in July

Bandai Namco announced during the Nintendo Direct today that Patapon 1+2 Replay will be releasing on July 11, 2025, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC. Patapon 1+2 Replay compiles the first two entries in the Patapon series, which debuted on Sony’s PlayStation Portable (PSP) in 2007 and 2008.

Having lived in the desolate frontier for years, the Patapon tribe was driven from their home by the Zigoton army. This drove them to become fierce warrior spirits that can only be commanded by the beat of the war drum, played by the Mighty One (the player). Their wait has finally come to an end as the drums of war are heard once again by the Mighty One return to guide the Patapon tribe through their adventures to fight against challenging enemies and return them to their homeland.

Patapon 1+2 Replay is a 2D-platform game that offers a unique blend of rhythm-based action and real-time strategy, where players must overcome their enemies and return the Patapon to Earthend. Patapons are guided in their adventures by the rhythm of four “legendary drums” and have different classes and roles that players can mix to lead the charge to victory, such as the “Hatapon”, leading the charge, “Kibapon”, a horse-riding warrior, or “Yumipon”, that shoots its bows from afar. Patapons can also be enhanced by combining items collected from rare materials through stages and missions. With over 400 types of weapons and equipment, players can build their personalised Patapon unit and tackle diverse stages and formidable enemies.

This game debuts new support features such as three difficulty settings – Normal, Easy, and Hard, timing adjustment; and constant command display.
