Patapon 1+2 Replay, Bandai Namco’s PS5 remaster of the cult rhythm strategy pair, is getting a free update on December 22, 2025 that will add a brand new game mode. The publisher posted a short teaser that promises “a FREE update with brand-new game mode,” but gives no details on what the mode actually is. The clip and the description ask players to stay tuned for more information, and outlets including Gematsu picked up the date from the announcement.
Remasters don’t always get new content, so this update will be welcome to fans who bought into the Replay release. Bandai Namco has left the specifics deliberately vague, so the community will likely be watching the game’s channels closely between now and December 22. What sort of mode would make sense for Patapon 1+2 Replay? A survival-style challenge, co-op scenarios, or a score-attack leaderboard would fit the series’ design, but Bandai Namco will have the final say.
