Producer Sakajiri outlines the Ratatan closed beta starting February 27, 2025, alongside matchmaking updates and new tutorials.

Producer Sakajiri shared details for Ratatan in Update 3, confirming a closed beta test scheduled for February 27, 2025. The team bypassed Steam Next Fest to focus on the beta test and a public demo in June.

Closed Beta Schedule

The closed beta is slated to begin on February 27, 2025. Initial access includes gameplay up to the end of Stage 1 across an expected one-month period, with updates adding Stages 2 and 3, extra characters, and features. Participants can submit feedback via a survey form.

Gameplay Additions

The beta client adds a starting tutorial based on player feedback. Players can use general matchmaking or queue with friends. Crow appears in the game, alongside newly added and adjusted instant enhancement items.

Controls and Rules

The development team is reviewing command inputs, button combinations, and UI guide options. Participants must refrain from sharing screenshots or videos outside of the official Ratatan Discord due to the postponement of Steam Next Fest.
