Bandai Namco and SAS have announced a new free update for Patapon 1+2 Replay is coming on December 22 with a new game mode. New information about the upcoming Patapon 1+2 Replay free update will be revealed soon, but it’s exciting nonetheless for the Patapon series, as this is the first new content for the franchise in many years.
Previously, Bandai Namco released the version 1.0.6 update for Patapon 1+2 Replay to fix a sound effect playback issue for the original Patapon game. Patapon 1+2 Replay update 1.0.6 also fixes a bug affected the “Battle of Ekkora Oasis” mission in Patapon 2.
Patapon 1+2 Replay launched on July 11 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. The game features new support functions and features, including a drum command always on display, a skip function for some scenarios, input timing delay settings, and new three-level difficulty adjustment.
Final Weapon reviewed Patapon 1+2 Replay and gave it a 4 out of 5 score, noting that the remaster is “a nostalgic blast from the past and features many upgrades from the original titles, including difficulty and latency sliders. While the story is light and the timing can be strict, this re-release manages to capture the charm of the originals while updating the games to stand alongside other modern titles, making Patapon 1+2 Replay a must-own for fans of the series.”
