As part of IGN Live, we're thrilled to exclusively debut the chilling yet charming first two minutes of Crunchyroll's Nyaight of the Living Cat anime - plus reveal an exciting Dead by Daylight in-game collaboration coming soon.
The gripping opening sequence (seen below) introduces us to both the characters and this bizarrely adorable apocalyptic world. As terrified survivors flee from shadowy pursuers, the horrifying truth is revealed: they're being chased by an overwhelming horde of... extremely cute cats.
In a twisted twist on zombie apocalypse tropes, when one victim finally gets caught, they aren't torn apart - but rather overwhelmed with affectionate kitty kisses. Tragically, these loving licks carry the cat-transforming virus, instantly turning their human prey into fellow felines.
While details about the Dead by Daylight crossover remain secret, fans won't have to wait long for more information - promises of "near future" reveals suggest this purr-fectly terrifying collaboration is coming soon.
The anime adaptation of Nyaight of the Living Cat premieres July 6, 2025, with Japanese broadcasts on TV Tokyo and international simulcasts via Crunchyroll.
Originally a manga series by Hawkman (writer) and Mecha-Roots (artist), this unique horror-comedy presents a world ravaged by a mysterious virus where simple cat contact transforms humans into feline counterparts. Protagonist Kunagi must resist all cuddly temptations to remain human in this dangerously adorable apocalypse.
