FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KATAMARI FOREVER™ GOES GOLD FOR PLAYSTATION®3
Feel the Cosmos and Roll the Largest Katamari in the Galaxy
SANTA CLARA, Calif., (August 28, 2009) – Leading video game publisher
and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that
Katamari Forever™ has gone gold exclusively for the PLAYSTATION®3
computer entertainment system. Use the Prince’s Katamari to roll up
as many everyday objects as possible within a time limit. The more
objects that the Prince rolls up, the larger his Katamari becomes,
allowing him to roll up bigger items. The Prince faces his toughest
challenge ever as Katamari Forever boasts the largest collection of
stages, modes, songs, and cousins to date. Remixed classic Katamari
Damacy tunes, a brand-new storyline, multiple new visual effects and
1080p graphics round out Katamari Forever into the ultimate Katamari
experience ever.
An unfortunate accident has caused the King of All Cosmos to lose his
memory and all the stars to disappear from the night sky. The Prince
must use his finely tuned Katamari rolling skills once more to
re-create the absent celestial bodies, save his royal father and
restore order to the Cosmos. Thumb tacks, sushi, cats, people,
skyscrapers, ocean liners and continents – nothing is safe as the
Prince makes his way through the largest variety of stages in a single
Katamari game.
Katamari Forever features a brand new art style along with multiple
graphic filters to bring out even more variety than ever before. The
new changeable graphic filters give Katamari Forever a certain “je ne
sais quoi” that all Katamari games possess. Wood Tone transforms
everything in the world into carved out wooden blocks while Comic Book
paints the screen with bold colors and stroke outlines. Players
looking to take a trip down memory lane can switch to Classic to
re-create the series trademark visual style in glorious 1080p. Make
sure to try them all out and find your favorite for a totally new way
to experience the world of Katamari.
In addition to all these great new features, Katamari Forever also
includes fun and frantic cooperative and competitive multiplayer
modes. Choose your favorite cousin and play together or compete in
heated Katamari competition. Who will become the Katamari champion in
your house?
Katamari Forever is rated “E” for Everyone by the ESRB and will carry
a MSRP of $49.99 when it is released on September 22, 2009.
