Ready to once again dive into the weird-but-welcoming mind of “Katamari Damacy” creator Keita Takahashi? You won’t have to wait too much longer.

Funomena and Annapurna Interactive have finally nailed down a release date for the friendship-focused “Wattam,” which is expected to be released on PS4 and PC through the Epic Games Store on December 17.

It’s available for pre-order on Epic’s store now for a discounted US$17, and you should see a similar discount for the PS4 when it reaches the PlayStation Store. The game is eventually coming to Steam.

However you play, the concept is the same. You’re a green, cube-shaped mayor whose quest is to reconnect the community by performing various and frequently strange and helpful activities to win them over, such as helping a balloon get over its fear of heights. It’s a deliberate contrast to the conflict-driven games that dominate the landscape, and arguably a relief in a world where division and hatred appear to be on the rise.(SD-Agencies)
