World Cat Day, No More Heroes 3 and Control pay homage to the event
World Cat Day
Today is World Cat Day, and the developers of No More Heroes 3 and Control wanted to pay tribute to the event in their own way, with a couple of nice posts on social media.Out August 27 on Nintendo Switch, No More Heroes 3 will allow us to heal and cuddle Jeane, Travis Touchdown's cat, every time the character returns home after completing a mission.
"Happy International Cat Day to Jeane and all the other irresistible felines out there! ", reads the post published by Nintendo on Twitter, in which we see Travis entertaining his cat.
Jesse Faden, the protagonist of Control, could not take the cat to work, in the offices of the Federal Bureau of Control, but the screenshot captured by TJ Marinelli is still perfect for the occasion.
In fact, we see the protagonist of the action shooter by Remedy Entertainment in a new outfit, with cat ears, and behind her a large painting depicting the Japanese Maneki Neko.
We are confident that more games and development teams will join in wishing our feline friends throughout the day. Cats can also be recruited in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, for one thing: it is unlikely that the Ubisoft title will not participate in the initiative.
