Nyan Heroes, the hero shooter where cute cats pilot giant mechs, released its launch window and teaser story trailer, revealing the game will debut in the winter of 2025.
The first story trailer from 9 Lives Interactive provides a look at what drives the Nyan Heroes, motivated by family and community to master the fight.
The Nyan Heroes train in the vibrant underground world of Nekovia, hoping to one day reclaim their home above ground from the feral robot uprising. The game currently features a roster of seven cat pilots and seven mechs, including Luna, seen in the trailer.
Inspired by her late brother, who passed away in combat, Luna took over his Guardian and joined the Battledome to prove herself. Despite being shy, she is determined to honor her brother’s legacy with bravery and determination. Her mech, Atlas, is the ultimate tank, absorbing massive damage and causing area damage.
Nyan Heroes is aiming for mainstream success.
Nyan Heroes is a team-based hero shooter where cats pilot giant mechs, developed by a veteran gaming team, including visionaries behind Halo, Destiny, Eve Online, World of Tanks, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Call of Duty, Ghost Recon, and more.
The game is currently holding its fourth public playtest featuring the release of Gizmo and Coco, a new hero who can strategically empower and protect allies, the Fishball game mode, and the Tokyo game map. Here’s info on the new content here.
Creator and CEO Max Fu’s vision for Nyan Heroes is to create an original and accessible IP in a world of sequels and licensing, delivering thrilling game mechanics for all players (including wall running and a MODS customizable weapons system) and has optional, completely external Web3 elements that promote game asset ownership only to those who are interested. Otherwise, the free-to-play experience is familiar and immediately accessible to all players.
