The Sony-owned franchise is releasing for the first time on a console other than PlayStation this July.

Comments

In a surprise announcement during the latest Nintendo Switch Direct, Patapon 1+2 Replay, a remaster of the first two Sony-published titles, was revealed for the Nintendo console. Despite Sony publishing Lego Horizon Adventures on Nintendo Switch last year, this remaster will instead be published by Bandai Namco.

Patapon 1+2 Replay will be the first time the series is available on a portable console since the games launched on PSP. Remasters for the first two games were eventually released on PlayStation 4, but today marks the first time the series has been announced for anything other than a Sony console. The remaster was announced for PC and PS5 shortly after the Direct.
