Surreal tower defense title The Battle Cats is pretty well known for having collabs with huge names, ones you might not expect from silly little cartoon cats.
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hatsune Miku… UFO Yakisoba? Kyoto Subway? So many weird and wonderful combinations. This time, it’s a name just about everyone knows. Sonic x Battle Cats is coming.
Yes, that Sonic. The blue hedgehog is about to team up with the white cats in an all-new event that brings classic stages from Sega’s iconic series to The Battle Cats.
There’s units too, with Sonic, Tales, and Knuckles, and Shadow available as Uber Rare units, and a few cats taking on the characteristics of the guest stars.
Worlds Collide In An Animated Trailer
This is all shown off in an impressive fully animated trailer, which shows the Sonic characters getting sucked into the world of the Battle Cats, and soon finding they each have quite a lot in common with the strange creatures. You can watch it below!
Never heard of The Battle Cats? Well keep reading and consider yourself educated. The Battle Cats is a tower defense game that’s been going strong for ten years, massive for a mobile game.
In The Battle Cats, you form an army of cats. Well, ‘cats’ is quite a broad way to describe your troops. Some of them walk on two legs, some wield weapons, some are horrible, towering monsters with unnaturally long limbs and fathomless black eyes.
Command your slightly-irregular feline troops to lay waste to your enemies, execute the purrfect battle plan, or suffer bitter defeat.
Despite the game’s admirable age, The Battle Cats still gets new content on the regular. If you haven’t tried it, you can find it now on Google Play and the App Store – and be fully prepared for when this collab lands on August 4th, 2025 at 11:00am. Just click here.
