Wattam - a game of squares and circles on PS4

Robin Hunicke (producer of Journey) and Keita Takahashi (creator of Katamari Damacy) came on stage at PlayStation Experience to announce the new project from their new studio Funomena.

"The idea for this game came from when Keita was playing with his two-year old son, and wondered about what if all toys lived, and connected by themselves? It would be such a fun world to explore and play with! The word "Wattam" itself is actually composed of the Tamil and Japanese words for "making a circle" or "making a loop". The initial prototype for this game was made by Keita and his friend Vikram, who are from these two cultures respectively, and this new word acknowledges one of the game's core inspirations: making connections between different types of things," wrote Hunicke on PlayStation Blog.

The game is being developed with support from Sony Santa Monica and it's coming exclusively on PS4. Check out the weird little teaser featuring the hat switching Mayor of the World of Wattam.
