The Battle Cats is active on two fronts: a second Bandai CHOCOBOX candy toy set is open for pre-order ahead of January 2027 shipment, and Ponos took part in a Moloco seminar panel on re-engagement for the game.
The Battle Cats appears in two recent Yomimono stories, and neither is about the game itself. The more recent is a Moloco-sponsored seminar held in Shibuya on October 29, where Moloco Ads Japan head Tsuyoshi Ariki said a new mobile game's revenue pattern becomes clear from its third month. He put the number of new mobile games released worldwide in 2025 at roughly 190,000, with about 2,500 reaching 500,000 first-year downloads, or 1.3%. A panel that included Ponos and Konami Digital Entertainment discussed re-engagement for The Battle Cats and eFootball. The game is treated there as an established title whose operator works on bringing players back.
The other story is merchandise. Bandai announced a second edition of The Battle Cats CHOCOBOX, a candy toy set with 10 figure charms and chocolate biscuits. Pre-orders opened July 17, 2026, at Premium Bandai at 5,390 yen, with shipment scheduled for January 2027. The set includes figures of Mohican Cat, Bird Cat, Ninja Cat, and seven other cat types. The second edition follows continued demand for The Battle Cats merchandise in Bandai's CHOCOBOX line.
Taken together, the stories put The Battle Cats in the same position on both fronts: a running game whose operator is working on retention, and a merchandise line that has reached a second set. Neither story gives player numbers, revenue figures, or a release date for anything in the game itself, so the picture stays at that level.
