The scene takes a humorous turn when one of the heroes is caught by the feline horde. Unlike typical zombie scenarios, instead of being attacked or eaten, he receives an overwhelming barrage of kisses. However, this affection comes with a twist—any contact with these adorable cats gradually transforms him into one of them, blurring the line between friend and foe.
What About the Dead by Daylight Collaboration?
While specific details about the upcoming Dead by Daylight crossover remain under wraps, fans can anticipate an announcement soon. The developers, Behaviour Interactive, have teased that the collaboration will introduce a new set of cuddly yet terrifying characters, blending horror and cuteness in a way only they can imagine. Stay tuned for more updates in the near future.
Series Launch Details and Background
Nyaight of the Living Cat will premiere on TV Tokyo and other Japanese broadcasters on July 6, 2025. Crunchyroll will simulcast the series across the United States and additional regions, making it accessible to a global audience.
For those unfamiliar with the story, the series originated as a Japanese manga created by writer Hawkman and illustrator Mecha-Roots.
