Cat Assassin, an exciting new game starring Dave Bautista, has unveiled its debut teaser trailer at Gamescom 2025. The video introduces players to the main character, Hugh, and offers a sneak peek into the game's distinctive gameplay mechanics and atmospheric world.

Set in a neo-noir universe inhabited by anthropomorphic felines, Cat Assassin represents a unique blend of stealth action and adventure. First announced in June 2025, the game is being developed through a collaboration between Toronto-based Titan1Studios and Dave Bautista's production company, Dogbone Entertainment. Bautista not only produces but also lends his voice and performance to the titular character.

Cat Assassin joined the impressive lineup of Gamescom 2025 revelations with its inaugural teaser trailer, which premiered on August 20th during the convention's opening ceremonies. The concise video begins with Dave Bautista providing an overview of the game before transitioning into what appears to be an in-engine rendered cutscene. The protagonist, voiced by Bautista, delivers a memorable line: "There's two kinds of things in this world: the things you leave behind and the things that follow you," identifying himself as belonging to the latter category.

The trailer concludes with brief glimpses of actual gameplay, showcasing the main character executing parkour-inspired movements across the urban landscape. This aligns with previous statements from Titan1Studios acknowledging the Assassin's Creed series as a significant influence. The development team has also cited Splinter Cell for its tactical espionage elements and Sifu for its fluid combat mechanics. Interestingly, the game incorporates roguelite elements where each death returns the protagonist to early adulthood while his targets reincarnate, creating a unique progression path for every player.

The Gamescom presentation effectively establishes the neo-noir atmosphere of Cat Assassin's universe, complete with cleverly named in-game establishments like "Whiskers and Whiskey" and "Nine Lives Insurance." The narrative is crafted by Steven Lerner, the writer behind the critically acclaimed story of Stray. According to early synopses provided to media outlets, the game aims to balance its dark, twisted urban setting with well-placed humor throughout the experience.
