The Battle Cats Unite getting release in the west

It’s taken quite some time, but The Battle Cats Unite is finally about to launch an English version in the west.

The game first launched on Switch in Japan in 2020. An English version did come out a year later, but it was only in Asia. Now Ponos is planning an official launch in North America and Europe.

Below is an overview of the game as provided by the eShop listing:

Based off of the hit mobile game The Battle Cats, downloaded over 90 million times worldwide! Now available on Nintendo Switch with all-new features! Featuring a simple-to-learn battle system that anyone can enjoy! Team up with a friend to increase the fun many times over! Play with family, friends, or even during a night in with that special someone! Create your own weirdly cute Cat Army and take to the battlefield!
