The King of All Cosmos lives! Gematsu is reporting that Bandai Namco has filed multiple trademark applications for a new game in the Katamari Damacy franchise.
According to the report, the publisher recently filed trademark applications for Katamari Damacy Reroll in Europe and Katamari Damacy Encore in Japan. Both applications were filed within days of each other, so they likely refer to the same game.
While the proposed titles seem to point towards some kind of re-release, that’s fineOK by me, because it’s been far too long time since fans have been able to pilot a Katamari Ball through the streets of Tokyo. Believe it or not, Touch My Katamari was released for the Vita more than six years ago, and it’s been more than nine years since Katamari Forever made its PS3 debut. A pair of mobile spinoffs were also briefly available on the iOS App Store, but they were delisted years ago.
The Tokyo Game Show kick offs next week, so hopefully Bandai Namco will have more to say about Katamari Damacy Reroll/Katamari Damacy Encore soon.
