Patapon Remastered is Coming to the PlayStation Store in August

News: Patapon Remastered is on the way and comes with a 20% discount if you are a PlayStation Plus member.

It has been a long time since we received a new Patapon game and while we still aren’t getting one the release date for Patapon Remastered has finally been revealed. Beginning on August 1, 2017 you will be able to relive the enchanting Pata-pata-pata-pon in remastered form on your PlayStation 4. This is a remaster of the first game and only the first game. I am hopeful that if this does well we will get remasters of Patapon 2 and 3 or, even better, a brand new Patapon experience.

For those who aren’t familiar with this franchise, Patapon is a rhythm-based 2D platform/action game where you need to make sure your characters are marching to the correct beat. Patapon Remastered on the PlayStation 4 will feature 1080p graphics and 4K resolution on 4K televisions and monitors. The basic story is below:

”For years the Patapon tribe has lived in the desolate frontier, driven from their home by the evil Zigoton army. Behind the Patapons' cute exterior, lies a fierce warrior spirit that can only be commanded by the beat of their God’s war drum. They wait for the day that the 'Almighty' will return, to lead them against their enemies and bring them back to their homeland. Finally, their wait has come to an end as the drums of war are heard once again.”

Patapon Remastered is currently available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store with some incentives. For starters the game will be normally priced at $14.99 but if you pre-order the game you can get it for $11.99. This discount will only apply to PlayStation Plus members. You will also receive the following items if you pre-order Patapon Remastered:
