Evangelion and “The Battle Cats” team up for latest limited-time collab event
Fans of the popular game “The Battle Cats” are in for a treat as a limited-time collaboration event with the anime franchise “Evangelion” is now underway.
This event brings a host of new characters, stages, and exclusive rewards inspired by the famous “Evangelion” series.
“The Battle Cats”, developed by PONOS Corporation, is a free-to-play tower defense game that frequently collaborates with series like Evangelion and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Players strategically deploy an army of bizarre and humorous cats to defend their base from waves of quirky enemies.
The “Evangelion” series, which began as “Neon Genesis Evangelion” with its television broadcast in 1995, became a cultural phenomenon in Japan and around the world.
The series was later re-envisioned as the “Rebuild of Evangelion” film series, planned, written, and directed by Hideaki Anno.
During this collaboration event, “The Battle Cats” will feature two types of collaboration-exclusive gachas (in-game lottery systems) where players can obtain special “Evangelion” characters.
A new limited legendary rare character will also be introduced, adding an element of surprise and excitement for veteran players seeking powerful new additions to their cat armies.
This iteration of the collaboration introduces the “Mass-Produced Eva Units” from “Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion”, the 1997 film that serves as an alternate ending to the original TV series.
These nine terrifying winged units, known for their haunting design, will join the ranks of obtainable characters.
The event also brings back collaboration-exclusive stages from previous “Evangelion” crossovers, allowing players who missed them before to experience these unique challenges and earn rewards for clearing the stages.
A brand-new assault stage, “Eva Mass-Produced Unit Assault”, directly inspired by “The End of Evangelion”, has been added, challenging players with formidable enemies.
These stages aim to recreate iconic moments and battles from the “Evangelion” franchise within the distinct style of “The Battle Cats”.
To reward consistent player engagement, a limited-time collaboration login stamp campaign is also underway.
By logging in daily during the event period, players will receive one stamp per day.
Accumulating five stamps will grant players the collaboration-exclusive EX characters, “Neko Gendo & Neko Fuyutsuki” – feline versions of NERV’s stern commander Gendo Ikari, and his stoic deputy, Kozo Fuyutsuki.
The “Gamatoto Exploration Team” feature within “The Battle Cats” will open a collaboration-exclusive area.
Gamatoto is a character in the game who can be sent on expeditions to gather various items and resources.
This special area promises abundant rewards, providing players with an excellent opportunity to stock up on valuable in-game items.
To celebrate the relaunch of this popular crossover, a new commercial titled “Shin Nyanko Gerion Relaunch” has been released.
This commercial reimagines famous scenes from “Evangelion” with “The Battle Cats” characters, offering a humorous and creative take on the series.
The “Evangelion” event will run in-game until Monday, July 28th, 2025, at 10:59 AM JST.
