Hello RataTEAM

We have a few very important developments that we’d like to go through.

First off, we are sorry for the radio silence, but as with most games, getting close to the finish line means a lot of extra work, bug fixes, and overall unseen problems, so the entire team has been focused on those.

During this period, it became clear that in order to reach the maximum quality with the game we would need an extended amount of time for bug fixing and polish. Due to these changes the new release date for all versions will be October 15th, 2026. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

We know no one likes delays but it will help us make the best game possible. Sakajiri-san, the executive producer of the game, would like to say the following:

First I would like to send my heartfelt gratitude to all the backers who have supported us so far.

This game was only made possible through the initial support on Kickstarter.

Though the trials and tribulations of developing the game, it has been the backers’ support that has kept us going.

Unfortunately, we just need a little extra development time and had to delay the release of the game.

I’m truly sorry about this delay for all the backers that have been waiting patiently so far.

In our initial development plan we didn’t expect to do Early Access and then adjust the game to the level that we did based on that feedback. Of course, due to that feedback, RATATAN is even better than we planned.

However, online support, building the game out for a large number of platforms, and improving the overall game experience has meant that we needed more development time.

We looked at all the choices and decided that we’d rather make the best game we can through delaying the release.

I do strongly believe that due to this delay we can make the best product possible and plan to put our all into it.

For me, everyone here isn’t just a backer, they are a friend who has helped us build the game along the way.

RATATAN only exists thanks to your support.

I sincerely apologize for the delay but have the utmost confidence in releasing a great game on October 15th.

We will do everything we can to make this great so thank you so very, very much for your understanding.

Producer

However, at that stage, all we had was a concept. The game itself didn't exist yet. The reality was simple: We couldn't raise funding. So when does a game become ready for funding? For Ratatan, th…
