In what turned out to be a fairly cat-focused Indie World showcase, Cat Quest III was given a release date and a brand-new trailer.
The Gentlebros' third entry in its cat-themed action RPG series sails onto the eShop on 8th August 2024 — which is actually International Cat Day. Plus, you'll be able to download a free demo on the eShop later today which will allow you to explore the first few islands of the game.
While Cat Quest III aims to purrfect the family-friendly formula from the first two games, you'll be taking to the high seas of the Purribean, engaging in ship battles and plundering for treasure all while crafting your own adventure.
Expect a plethora of cat puns, mouse pirates, and more when Cat Quest lands on Switch on 8th August. Are you clawing to get your paws on this? Stretch down in the comments and let us know.

A bit of an underated series for me. Household loves the series. Yeah, almost definite download.
Will get this game both on Switch and PS5 version.
Cat Quest 2 is a co-op gem that gets overlooked. It's very fun, like an all-ages dungeon crawler.
Looking forward to seeing a new setting and some new ideas for the series.
I was actually considering replaying the first two games recently, and now I have a reason to!
Nice sequel, I got the first two so definitely getting this to complete the trilogy.
Not familiar with the series, I’m not a cat person, but the 2 player co-op what get me to buy it.

Thanks, sounds like the perfect game to play with my wife while we wait for this one, will go look it up.
@Anti-Matter Cat Quest 3 is also coming to PS5? Thanks, I’d prefer to play it on there.
Really should give the Cat Quest series a try at some point as the more I see of these games the more they appeal to me!
Great Series! I picked up a copy of the double pack (Cat Quest 1 + 2) a few years ago for Switch and I really enjoyed it!
Give me a physical option and it's a day 1 purchase. If not, I'll download it for my Steam Deck OLED instead.
Still a bit annoyed the second game only came as a double since I already own the first. Still, these are fun little games and even as somebody who has a very low tolerance for puns can enjoy them.
This was my fave of the direct by a mile xD
This series is solid!
As someone who played and enjoyed the first game I’ll definitely give this game try. And the fact that it has a demo is really nice.
AWWW yes! This is my most anticipated game of the Direct. Totally picking this one up.
Didn't we JUST see this trailer in the iii show?
Was always curious about the Cat Quest series, and this one looks like the best yet! I love the addition of sea combat with those cute little ships.
So glad my wish came true to see something about Cat Quest 3 in the Indie showcase.
Are you kittying me I just beat cat quest 2 yesterday. I'm doing endgame side quests now and I don't want it to end it's so addictive this will be a day 1 buy fs!!
This series is such a gem. Started playing with my ex one afternoon knowing nothing about the game, and we were HOOKED.
So addictive and quite funny.
Nintendo Life alumni Jon Cartwright's doing some voice acting for this game
Played the original Cat Quest a few years ago. Found it reasonably entertaining, but didn't finish it, and passed on II. Have to admit Cat Quest III may motivate me to try the franchise again. Plan to try the demo.
Backlogged on 1 and 2 still???
I played Cat Quest 2 and thought it was alright, but damn does this look like a massive glow-up in terms of visuals and mechanics. Exploring the few islands I was able to access in demo already gave me massive Wind Waker vibes in all the best ways.
I had to paws when I realized two indie developers are making better looking pirate games than Ubisoft 🤣🤣🤣
Loved CatQuest II, still need to play the first one. Looking forward to this one!
@rjejr
Yup, Cat Quest 3 will get physical release on multi consoles (Switch, PS4, PS5, XBOX) according to play-asia.
Just finished the demo!! What a wonderful, wonderful game!!!
@Anti-Matter Thanks, I'll keep an eye out at my library, they seem to be short enough to borrow for a week. 👍
