TVT Co. and Ratata Arts have revealed when rhythm game Ratatan will be receiving a huge Early Access update, as well as the update’s name.
Dubbed Descent of the Dark Ratatan, this upgrade is set to add new enemies, stages, item drops (with increased rarity levels), and gameplay, as well as an entire new chapter and several UI/UX improvements.
