No more Katamari Damacy sequels

Namco has dissolved the Katamari Damacy development team and series creator Keita Takahashi has moved onto pastures new.

Namco has closed the game's official Japanese website and replaced it with a message that could well bring a tear to the eye for many fans of the series. According to a translation by Gamasutra, the message says that Doctor Katamari (series creator Keita Takahashi) has moved onto a new project and that the rest of the development team has been dissolved.

For gamers in PAL land we can at least look forward to Me & My Katamari on the PSP in May.
