Cat Quest III Arrives on iOS This Year

• Cat Quest III is finally setting sail for iOS.
• This isometric hack-and-slash RPG is scheduled to launch on August 8th.
• Journey across land and sea to explore, amass treasure, and send your foes to the briny deep.

We frequently hear initial news about mobile game releases, only to be met with months of silence. Thankfully, that quiet is often broken in unexpected ways—just like with Cat Quest III! A beloved series here at Pocket Gamer, the new nautical-themed installment is now officially confirmed for iOS, targeting a release date of August 8th.

In short, Cat Quest III is a fast-paced, isometric pirate adventure where you play as one of the titular cats. You’ll explore a pirate-themed world by land and sea, battling enemies on islands or engaging in naval combat on the open waves.

The game emphasizes seamless gameplay, integrating exploration and combat into one fluid experience. Wherever you adventure, you’ll have consistent control and largely the same set of abilities.

One of the most striking aspects of Cat Quest III, at least to me, is its visual style. The lush, detailed graphics bear some resemblance to the Paper Mario series. Despite the isometric view, the game is packed with intricate details and impressive visual effects, somewhat reminiscent of games like Octopath Traveler.

On iOS, Cat Quest III supports advanced touch controls, Game Center, and a one-time purchase model—so you can play across all your compatible Apple devices after buying it just once. You can even jump into co-op mode using two controllers on a single device.
