Ponos's wildly popular mobile game, The Battle Cats, is celebrating its 12th anniversary! This quirky tower defense game, known for its bizarre and endearing cast of ninja cats, fish cats, and even a "Gross Cat," continues to thrive in a competitive mobile market. To mark this milestone, Ponos has launched a new ad campaign, a Sengoku-era themed masterpiece blending art, history, and the game's signature humor.

The new commercials, created in partnership with R/GA, transport players to the Sengoku period, showcasing tactical gameplay alongside whimsical elements like quirky cat food cans. The campaign, titled "The Way of the Cat," is designed to both celebrate the game's legacy and attract new players.
