Two years later: new details on the long-dormant Katamari Damacy Online
Just when it'd almost fully receded from your memory (the last we heard of it was in January of 2007), andriasang notes a new article on the Korean-exclusive massively multiplayer Katamari Damacy Online.
Unfortunately, the update only goes so far as to profile two new playable cousin characters, and a vague storyline, as translated by andriasang, that concerns "a black hole that forms after the King decides to hold a picnic," which players will seal off with their rolled up katamari.
The game is apparently, though, due for release in Korea this year by local external developer Windysoft, with no word from anyone on when or how or if it might make it out of that country.

i've recently been on a katamari kick and love playing by myself. I really can't imagine a
MMO version. seems a bit odd even for the katamari universe.

hmmm, can't seem to sign in so I'll be leaving this anonymously.
I love Katamari and I would love it to be multiplayer. My friends and I would take turns playing together which is fine but it would be better if everyone could join.
WANT!

Multiplayer doesn't make too much sense. I would have rather seen all of that development effort go towards building level and object editors. The minds of katamari players could create endless content.
