Bandai Namco reveals "Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack" coming to Switch in Winter 2020

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (August 26, 2020) – Leading video game and interactive entertainment developer and publisher, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc., today announced TAIKO NO TATSUJIN™: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK, a two-games-in-one package for the Nintendo Switch®, slated for launch in the Americas in winter 2020.

Currently in development by Tokyo, Japan based DOKIDOKI GROOVEWORKS Inc., TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK officially brings two never-released-in-the-west Taiko no Tatsujin titles (Taiko no Tatsujin Rhythmic Adventure 1 & 2) to players outside of Japan; delivering a one-of-a-kind experience to the cult-classic Japanese rhythm game. TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK presents a unique storyline as players set out on two different Role-Playing-Game (RPG) adventures taking them through different periods in history, and into the future, to battle over 250 different monsters, bosses, and enemy drums.

Players will need to hone their rhythmic drum playing skills in order to beat enemies. Completing challenging rhythmic combos will deal more damage to enemy characters, leading to their defeat. However, old enemies can become future allies as players are able to invite vanquished foes to join their party to take-on even more powerful enemies and bosses. Fans of the series will also be able to enjoy classic Taiko no Tatsujin gameplay in TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK’s Rhythm Game Mode which will feature over 100 songs and six entirely new tracks.

“The Taiko no Tatsujin series is one of the most unique and beloved franchises in BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment’s illustrious portfolio of titles. With TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK, we’re excited to finally officially offer western players two games from the series that were originally exclusive to Japan,” said Abelina Villegas, Associate Brand Manager for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK will deliver a double dose of fun and RPG adventure through its challenging rhythmic gameplay that will surely delight longtime fans and new players alike.”

TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK for Nintendo Switch is scheduled for launch on in the Americas in winter 2020.
