Announced today on the PlayStation Blog, Fat Princess is getting a patch which includes a new map. There will also be a demo for the game that releases the same day as the patch. Here are the details for the patch:
New Map

Game System Tweaks
- The host’s ability to kick and ban players has been removed.
