The new content integrates into existing areas like the Purvanna region.
A future update for the game will introduce a “Mew Game” mode with specific modifiers.

Cat Quest 3 has received a free update on all platforms, adding new content such as quests, dungeons, and bosses. The new quests can be found in familiar areas such as the Purvanna region, Twilight Isles, Sunset Isles, and Furggy Island. Developer Gentlebros has promised more updates for Cat Quest 3 down the road.

Released on August 8, Cat Quest 3 is the third installment in the series of the same name. In this action RPG, players take on the role of a feline privateer, known in-game as a “purrivateer,” tasked with finding the Northern Star, a treasure said to grant wishes to its holder. The Cat Quest series is renowned for its irreverent humor and endless cat-themed puns. The biggest highlight of the second game was the addition of multiplayer mode, which is why Cat Quest 3 brought back local co-op on all platforms.

How a Fan Convinced Gentlebros to Add Gender Options to Cat Quest 3

From Grace O’Malley to Zheng Yi Sao, there is a rich history of women pirates for the Cat Quest 3 protagonist to join.

The new Cat Quest 3 update adds five new side quests featuring fresh characters and familiar mysteries, along with four new dungeons filled with puzzles, standalone stories, and surprises. Players will also face three new boss battles and gain access to a slew of new equipment. While the update didn’t add new areas to Cat Quest 3, the additional quests and dungeons are integrated into existing ones, such as the Purvanna region and Furggy Island.

This marks the first free update for the game. For the future of Cat Quest 3, Desmond Wong, CEO of Gentlebros, confirmed that the RPG will receive an update scheduled for early next year, introducing the “Mew Game” mode. A beloved feature of the Cat Quest series, the Mew Game allows players to start a new playthrough with specific modifiers, such as disabling level-ups or restricting the use of armor and weapons.

The third game significantly expanded upon the gameplay of its predecessors. The pirate theme in Cat Quest 3 introduced naval exploration and battles, along with a new enemy type, the rats. According to Gentlebros, the decision to include rats was inspired by the “pi-rats” pun. Naturally, as a pirate game, it also features a robust maritime system with ships to sail the seas.

Cat Quest 3 is available on PS5, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Gentlebros has also announced that it is working on Cat Quest 4, though it cautioned fans not to expect updates anytime soon. Wong said he has a roadmap for nine Cat Quest games because cats have nine lives. The studio plans to keep releasing the Cat Quest series as long as players remain satisfied.
