Cat Quest III (PC) – The preview

After a first opus on Nintendo Switch, which was a discreet port of a smartphone game and whose success was just as discreet on smartphone as its communication, Cat Quest established itself in everyone's eyes with a memorable second opus on Nintendo Switch (and other platforms). A more complete, bigger, longer game, and above all still just as Kawaii. The most curious will have found a clue slipped into the second opus at the time, a large Cat Quest III logo.

Many years later, after a lot of waiting and deafening radio silence, Cat Quest III finally arrives and is announced for this summer. “Cat Quest III,” the latest installment in the action RPG series developed by The Gentlebros, is scheduled for release on August 8, 2024. This new installment takes players on a pirate-themed adventure in the Purribean Archipelago, a place filled with treasures, challenges and colorful characters. After the dogs of the second opus, it's time for the rats that infest the world of Cat Quest III. The game introduces new enemies, such as Captain Meowtallika and Captain Takomeowki, each offering unique boss fights. Players will also have to face the Pi-rat King, a formidable opponent cursed with immortality.

The Pirate theme of this opus is obvious from the first images of the game, and the Pirate delirium fits well with the gameplay and habits of the series. Swimming (with a buoy and without touching the water too much, we're cats after all!) is finally possible, and boats seem to be one of the main additions to the “discovery” mechanics of the series. For the first time, sail the seas and fight aboard your own ship! Explore the waters aboard your craft, zigzag seamlessly to shore and paw across the land to hunt for loot in the pirate world of the Purribean! There are treasures to find, including new weapons, like the blunderpuss, furr-ocious spells, gla-meow-rous costumes, and more!

The game features some side-view gameplay, which is new to the franchise, and it's still playable solo or in local co-op! The preview part allows us to discover a little more than the demo currently available on the eShop, but the gaming experience is almost identical for the moment, to see with the test of the game a little later this summer.

Cat Quest III will be available on theeShop at the price of twenty euros.
