Katamari celebrates 20th anniversary with promise of future games

While the series has been in various states of activity over the course of its life, Katamari has delighted many fans over the years with its unique gameplay and quirky story. Now, the team are celebrating the franchise’s 20th anniversary – alongside the promise of more Katamari in the future.

Detailed by the publication ‘Denfaminicogamer’, as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations for the Katamari series, publisher Bandai Namco have gone live with a franchise sale across digital platforms, alongside the release of the first game’s soundtrack to music streaming platforms.

That’s not all however, as a new official Twitter page for the franchise has been created, with them stating (as translated by Google) “We have opened a comprehensive official account for the [Katamari] series. In the future, we will not only provide game information, but will also deliver a lot of information about goods.”

The Katamari franchise is a wholly unique series whose new releases never fail to entertain and so it is exciting to see it continue to truck along after two decades.

Hopefully a brand new and original Katamari entry is announced sooner rather than later.
