Once Upon A Katamari Revealed, Gets October Release Date

Wait 5 sec.

As announced during today's Nintendo Partner Direct, there's a new Katamari game on the way. Once Upon A Katamari is the first new game in the series for consoles since 2011--Katamari Damacy Rolling Live released exclusively for Apple Arcade earlier this year--and it, unsurprisingly, sees the King of All Cosmos causing trouble for everyone's favourite Prince.This time, the King accidentally destroyed the Earth, moon, and countless other stars, sending The Prince off on a time-hopping journey through the Jurassic Period, the Ice Age, historic Japan, Ancient Rome, and more. This game introduces items to help you along the way, like a magnet that pulls in nearby objects, a rocket that propels you forward, and a timer that freezes moving objects and time itself. You'll have a huge range of new cousins to choose from to play as in this one, 69 total ("How nice") if you include The Prince. That includes one that looks like two people in a horse costume, another that looks like a cactus, and one that's just straight-up a mushroom. The Prince and all his cousins can be customized too, and there's a new multiplayer mode called KatamariBall where you can "roll around with up to four players online."Continue Reading at GameSpot
