Coming to PS4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and PC via Steam, it’ll be released on August 8th on Switch as well, which happens to be, by the way, International Cat Day.

The vast open seas of the Purribean are both bountiful and dangerous for any would-be pirates. Explore unique picturesque islands and meet a bevy of meow-sterious characters as you set sail in pursuit of the legendary North Star. Pounce on the opportunity to explore dark caverns and mysterious dungeons as you search for clues or sail on your own purr-fect ship complete with full sails and explosive cannons with a bounty of different ammunition types. Don’t panic when you encounter a horde of nasty Pi-rats, me hearties – play with another buccaneer in local co-op and turn the tables on these would-be plunderers intent on taking your booty for their own.

Regarding the demo, the team says: “Curious cats can test their sea legs and download the Cat Quest III playable demo now on Nintendo Switch. Featuring the game’s opening areas, take your first steps onto tropical islands and meet some of the cast of colourful characters that await you in the full game. Pass a Joy-Con Controller to a friend and enjoy seamless local co-op and begin your epic adventure together”.
