PONOS is celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Battle Cats in style—with a full-blown Sonic the Hedgehog collaboration that brings nostalgia, chaos, and plenty of cats. From August 4 to August 18, 2025, fans can take part in this time-limited event packed with special stages, exclusive units, and daily rewards. With over 100 million players worldwide, this update is one of the biggest yet.
Sonic Meets The Battle Cats: 5 Classic Maps Reimagined
The crossover introduces five iconic stages inspired by classic Sonic games. You’ll battle your way through:
- Green Hill Zone
- Chemical Plant Zone
- Sky Sanctuary
All three are found under Legend Stages and include five limited levels each, where familiar Sonic characters appear as enemies.
If you’re looking for a challenge, head to Radical Highway, a 20-stage gauntlet with high-stakes rewards. Then test your ranking skills at the Arena of Honor via the Catclaw Dojo in the Sonic Battle leaderboard stage.
Daily Rewards and a Free Tails Cat
Log in daily and you’ll rack up rewards straight from the Cat Base. On Day 5, you’ll unlock Tails Cat for free—a catified version of Sonic’s best buddy. This special unit evolves into Tails Cat CC, making it a prize worth showing up for.
Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, and Tails Join the Rare Capsule Lineup
