ABOUT NYAN HEROES

Co-founder Max Fu, an avid cat lover with four rescues of his own, conceived Nyan Heroes – which aims to combine the thrill of a competitive third-person battle royale shooter with the playful and quick movements of cats, all developed on the Unreal Engine 5 engine to deliver a visually stunning experience. While optional web3 features are planned, the developers are currently focused on establishing strong core gameplay features. Those seeking a unique take on the battle royale genre may find Nyan Heroes to be just that during its development. Nyan Heroes has demonstrated their dedication to cats beyond the virtual realm by donating over $250,000 to the “no-kill” animal rescue organization Best Friends Animal Society and an additional $150,000 to other related organizations with the goal of saving one billion cats.
