Dave Bautista is making a game and cartoon about a Cat Assassin

Actor-producer Dave Bautista (Blade Runner 2049, Guardians of the Galaxy) and developer Titan1Studios have announced a major partnership to launch the multimedia Cat Assassin franchise that includes an animated series, publishing efforts, and a stealth-action video game already in development.

Created by Steve Lerner, the mind behind hit games Stray and Twelve Minutes, Cat Assassin is set in a gritty neo-noir city populated by anthropomorphic felines. The story follows Hugh, a skilled assassin navigating a chaotic world of warring cartels and corrupt power players. The franchise promises a blend of dark humor, action, and stealth. The news was first reported by Game Rant.

The upcoming game draws inspiration from Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell, Sifu, and Stray, aiming to deliver agile combat, tactical gameplay, and narrative depth. With Bautista’s creative influence and his full-service company Dogbone Entertainment onboard, the collaboration aims to bring Cat Assassin to a global audience across multiple platforms.

More information about the animated series, feature film, publishing partners, and future video game titles will be revealed in the months ahead. Fans can look forward to a deeply connected storytelling experience as kitty Cat Assassin carves out its place in pop culture.
