PS5’s Once Upon a Katamari Is Getting Bigger with Paid DLC Based on the Mobile Game
Once Upon a Katamari, a time-travelling arcade adventure that launched on PlayStation 5 last year, will receive premium paid DLC later in 2026. The expansion will draw from Katamari Damacy Rolling Live, the franchise’s mobile game entry, introducing content from that mobile title into the console version.
The DLC announcement indicates continued support for Once Upon a Katamari on PlayStation 5, despite the game receiving relatively limited visibility since its launch. This represents a cross-platform content strategy, bringing mobile game content to console players and linking the mobile and console entries in the Katamari franchise.
The Katamari Damacy franchise has maintained a dedicated following over its history, known for its distinctive rolling mechanics and unique art style. Once Upon a Katamari preserves these series characteristics while incorporating time-travel gameplay elements as a core feature, offering a fresh take on the established formula.
The announcement did not disclose specific details about the DLC, including its pricing, the exact launch window within 2026, the scope of included content, or how it will integrate into the existing console experience.
