Ponos is celebrating the 12th anniversary of their beloved mobile game, The Battle Cats, with a unique Sengoku-era ad campaign that masterfully blends art and humor. From Ninja Cats to Fish Cats, and even the intriguingly named "Gross Cat," The Battle Cats continues to push the boundaries of weirdness, which is precisely why it has captured the hearts of players worldwide for over a decade.

The latest series of commercials transports players back to the Sengoku period, a time renowned for its tactical mastery. These ads artfully weave together historical elements with the game's signature quirky humor, featuring cat food cans in a way that only The Battle Cats can pull off. The campaign, titled "The Way of the Cat," is a collaboration with R/GA, and it promises to immerse viewers in cinematic experiences that encourage them to "be the cat, become the cat."
