Explore Japan's Sengoku Period in The Battle Cats' 12th Anniversary Campaign

Author : Riley Jan 22,2025

The Battle Cats celebrates 12 years of quirky cat-fueled tower defense action! To mark this milestone, developer Ponos has launched a new Sengoku-era ad campaign, blending historical artistry with the game's signature offbeat humor.

Ninja cats, fish cats, and even the aptly named "Gross Cat"—the game's eclectic roster of feline fighters continues to expand, and its unique charm has clearly resonated with players for over a decade. While many mobile tower defense games fade quickly, The Battle Cats continues to thrive.

This new ad series, a collaboration with R/GA, immerses viewers in the Sengoku period, showcasing strategic gameplay alongside the franchise's trademark quirky cat food cans. The campaign, titled "The Way of the Cat," is a cinematic delight that somehow manages to make you want to "be the cat, become the cat."
