The King of All Sounds edition will include the pre-order bonus and 2 DLC packs (60 song tracks from past series and 26 costumes from past series). As an added bonus, players who have save data from either Katamari Damacy REROLL or We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie can unlock a playable Young King once the game launches.
The press release has an overview of the game:
In Once Upon A KATAMARI, players will experience the series’ signature game play like never before, experiencing a journey across time featuring all-new stages, and with a new competitive multiplayer mode. The game’s memorable music returns with a new soundtrack, and game play enhancements include new customization options and fun tools such as a new magnet to pull in shiny nearby items.
Players can choose to play as The Prince or 68 cousins and kin, all of whom can be customized with different colors and facial features. These customization options will be available in KatamariBall, a new four-player competitive mode where players attempt to roll the katamari as big as possible and exchange it for points within a limited time. KatamariBall will support both online multiplayer and offline play against CPU opponents.
