We had a pawsitively purrfect time with Cat Quest III when the cute action-adventure curled up on Switch earlier this year. And now, that little kitty is getting even bigger.
The 'Mew Content Update' (we love a cat pun, if you couldn't tell after that opening sentence) has weighed anchor on Steam today, and will be "coming soon" to consoles. What's more, it looks like it contains some pretty clawsome (sorry) bonus goodies.
First and foremost are the additional five story quests, which will see you sailing the seven seas, unearthing secrets and meeting some familiar furry faces along the way. Pair that with four new dungeons and three new boss fights, and you've got yourself a pretty beefy expansion.
Naturally, there's a treasure chest of fresh gear too, so you can customise your feline friends however you please — come on, what's better than cats in hats?
The patch notes for the 'Mew Content Update' were shared by developer The Gentlebros over on the Cat Quest III Steam page, though we have gathered them together for you to check out below:
Cat Quest III 'Mew Content Update'
New Content
- 5 new quests.
- 4 new dungeons.
-9 new equipment (Including a second Warrior's Braid for more co-op fun!)
QOL Additions
- Leveling up past maximum level now replenishes health, mana and ammo.
- Added "Camera Shake" option in Options.Bug fixes
- Fixed rare issue where NPCs would move at abnormal speeds sometimes.
- Fixed French Localization where there are missing characters from certain words (Eg. Charaibes -> Charabes).
- Fixed issue where some enemies' attacks can cause the player to not be able to transition from water>land and vice versa.
- Fixed issue where there was a short static at the end of skipping animated videos.
- Fixed Credits not being reset back to initial starting point.
- Fixed confirmation message panels not hiding properly sometimes after confirmation ("Yes").
- Adjusted sound effects to fade out during transition between scenes.
- Fixed issue where certain passives were not functioning properly with certain equipment.
You can find our full review of Cat Quest III below, where we called the animal adventure, "Quite simply, one of the best indie games of the year".

Nice to see this getting a content update, looking forward to it at some point although not anytime soon since I'd like to play the previous Cat Quests first!
Man I am not in the mood to see a doge
@ancientlii MTG, baby! (hwoorff!)
I’m just here for the catty comments
How cool, I recently played through the first two, so I'll wait for this update to drop before I start #3.
I thought the second one was quite the improvement on the first, and reading this tells me that the third one is even better 😻
@JohnnyMind Took me 5 hours "or more" to do everything in #1, and 10 hours "or more" for #2 ... just so you know, in case you like to see some progress on your backlog 😉
Bought it at release, been busy and haven’t played it yet, and once again it’s good to wait. I swear every game needs 6-12 month to finish these days. 😩
Too bad it isn’t on console yet, my kids did play it when we bought it and they’d probably go back for the 3 boss fights. Maybe next month. 🤷🏻♂️
@Yalloo My kids said 3 was noticeably shorter than 2. About 12 hours for 2 and only 6 or so for 3, they finished it in 3 play sessions. I’m glad my wife and I waited for this, should be at least 4 nights now.
@rjejr Thanks, that's good to know. And maybe that explains why they're making an update for it.
I just recently bought the trilogy they released physically and been playing them in between other games, it's good timing in my case 😅
3 was short - but the variety was much MUCH higher, I think it was much better than the first 2 and I enjoyed them, but they were pretty repetitive and 3 is, imo, a vastly better game.
I'm curious if this is post game content or if you've beaten the game how you access it.
The update is a pleasant surprise.
Just a friendly reminder that Jon Cartwright (former NintendoLife staff) has voice lines in this game
Oh my, this will be purrfect for mew game plus!!!
@Yalloo Not sure why I didn't get notified of your comment but anyway, thanks for telling me, that certainly increases the chances of me playing these sooner rather than later (after getting them that is, I'm waiting to see if the price of the physical version including all of them even just slightly decreases before buying them digitally)!
@Yalloo " it's good timing in my case "
Still not done yet, at least 2 more updates to go next year. Like I said in an earlier comment, always have to wait a year if you want to play a finished game these days. Or at least wait a month and get 40% off Sonic Generations and Shadow.

I think I may wait on Cat Quest and take advantage of all of these 99c streaming deals and catch up on movies for a bit. Oh and I'm finally buying God fo War Ragnarok now that the game is $30 on sale from $70 so that will last me awhile. 😎
I'm waiting on playing any recent Switch games until the DX versions on Switch 2 next year.
@rjejr Thanks for that. I saw somewhere in those comments that they were updating CQ2 for 2 years ... 😨 I really did enjoy those games, but probably not enough to keep coming back for so long. Going through the game once is enough for me. A challenge mode could be interesting though ... I think I'll hold it until the major update is out on Switch and will see next year what those additionnal updates are and if I want to revisit it or not. I've got more than enough games anyways, still playing TotK and just went back to Shredder's Revenge for the DLC characters. 😅
🎮🧡
@Yalloo "TotK"
Could be worse, you could sill be playing BotW. 😁 Or waiting for the Hollow Knight DLC Silksong like my kid. 😂
@rjejr 🤣😅
