The upcoming Cat Assassin game and media franchise will plunge players into a dangerous neo-noir world full of anthropomorphic cats. The Cat Assassin game is set to become one part of a multimedia franchise, brought to life by writer Steve Lerner, alongside the creative vision of Dave Bautista.
For the uninformed, Steve Lerner is the writer behind the renowned cat game Stray, which put players in control of a cat that gets stranded away from its family and has to find its way home through a robot-inhabited walled city. He was also one of the writers of another Annapurna Interactive-published title, the time-looping game Twelve Minutes. Dave Bautista, on the other hand, is best known for his roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy film franchise, Dune, and his years as a WWE superstar.

Now, these two are revealing a new game that will become part of a larger Cat Assassin franchise. Though much about the game and its plot remains a mystery, Cat Assassin is set in a neo-noir world full of anthropomorphic cats "of all types," which will put players in the role of a skilled assassin named Hugh. Hugh has to navigate their way through trials and tribulations brought forth by cartels, power brokers, and other dangers in the city. Titan1Studios is partnering with Bautista's Dogbone Entertainment to bring the stealth action video game worldwide. Cat Assassin draws inspiration from Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, Sifu, and of course, the cat game Stray. However, the game is also described as having a blend of humor, action, and stealth, so players shouldn't expect a completely dry and serious experience.
The Talents Behind the Cat Assassin Universe
The franchise originates from cat game Stray's writer Steve Lerner, with Dave Bautista partnering with Titan1Studios to bring the title to gamers the world over. While the game is likely to generate excitement among gamers, it's just one piece of the plan. Cat Assassin is also slated to see an animated series, film, and additional video games. All involved parties seem to be very excited by the potential of Cat Assassin. President and CEO of Titan1Studios Rathan Moorthy said the partnership with Bautista and Lerner's story writing abilities "highlights the immense potential of the Cat Assassin world." Bautista calls Cat Assassin's world "truly unique," and says he's extremely eager to share it with players. Lerner called the opportunity a dream come true.
While there's still a lot yet to be announced and revealed regarding the Cat Assassin franchise, it sounds like an intriguing and unique new IP that could appeal to a lot of players. Fans of games like Stray and/or stealth action games should expect to hear more about Cat Assassin in the coming months.
