The first game set to be added to the PS Plus Premium Classics catalog for the month of February, 2025, has been leaked early.
A database entry (via) for a title update on PlayStation servers appears to have confirmed the first game that will be added to the PS Plus Premium Classics catalog for February, 2025. The title in question is none other than Sony Interactive Entertainment and Pyramid/Japan Studio’s rhythm game, Patapon 3.
Remastered versions of both Patapon and Patapon 2 are already available on the PlayStation Store and also via the PS Plus Premium Classics catalog. It now appears that the third entry will also be joining them later this month. The PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog and Premium Classics catalog lineup for February, 2025, should be announced this Wednesday at 8:30 AM PT / 11:30 AM ET.
For the uninitiated, Patapon 3 was originally released in April, 2011, for the PlayStation Portable. It is the final entry in the Patapon series. While the core gameplay remains similar to its predecessors, this installment places a stronger emphasis on multiplayer features. The game maintains its signature 2D, silhouetted art style, originally created by French artist Rolito, but now features more detailed backgrounds. The story picks up immediately after the events of Patapon 2. Having completed the Rainbow Bridge, the Patapons cross into a new land where they encounter a mysterious box. Ignoring Meden’s warnings, they open it, unwittingly releasing the Seven Evil Archfiends, who turn nearly all the Patapons to stone, leaving only Hatapon untouched.
A new enemy tribe, the Bonedeth Brigade, rises to challenge the Patapons, while the Akumapons from the previous game also return as foes. However, all hope is not lost, as the Silver Hoshipon emerges from the box as well, offering assistance. It finds the Almighty and revives a single Patapon: the Hero. Merging with the Almighty’s power, the Hero transforms into the Uberhero, gaining enhanced abilities.
