Did The Gentlebros come up with the pun "Pi-Rats" and then work backwards from there in deciding that Cat Quest 3 should be pirate themed? Or was "Purr-ibean" the initiating pun? I feel that the action-RPG sequel had to begin with one of wordplay or another, given that its Steam page boasts that it also has "furr-ocious spells" and "gla-meow-rous costumes".

It's also claws-out now on Steam, which has me feline fine.

If you're a person of exceptional taste, you'll already known developer The Gentlebros' adorable quick-fire action-RPG series Cat Quest is a bit of a winner, so you'll likely be chuffed to hear the next instalment - Pirates of the Purribean - will be arriving for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and Steam on 8th August. Oh, and a demo's out for Switch today.

Cat Quest 3: Pirates of the Purribean casts players as a swashbuckling "purrivateer", sending them on an open-world adventure across the game's titular archipelago in search of the long-lost Northern Star treasure. It's a journey, spanning both land and sea, that'll necessitate battle against the fearsome Pirate King and his hordes of Pi-rats, with The Gentlebros promising varied dungeons and biomes to investigate as events unfold.

Pirates of the Purribean doesn't, admittedly, look like a radical departure from previous games, but the series' breezy, super-streamlined action-RPG adventuring - which mixes real-time combat, dungeon crawling, and equipment progression in a wonderfully accessible package - was already a treat, so more is always welcome.
