Katamari Team Disbands

Gamasutra reports that the team behind Katamari Damacy, We *heart* Katamari, and My My Katamari has dissolved. The official Katamari site states that there are no plans for sequels to the hit rollin' games. From the article: "The official announcement does mention that 'Professor Katamari' (presumably Keita Takahashi) is currently working on a new game design, though apparently not with the core Katamari Damacy team. 'You don't roll things up, or get bigger, but you might find it interesting anyway,' says the site." Which is good news, considering his earlier comments about making playground equipment.

This is terrible

This is really terrible news. I've always had fun playing the Katamari games in the past and the news that there would be no more sequels is truly shocking. Somebody should go out there and roll the entire team back into a katamari!

It's something that happens

They'll be rolled into other departments.

Let the bad puns roll!

Whatever new project they get rolling on, I'm sure they'll have a ball.
