With the conclusion of Gamescom 2026, both our offline exhibition in Cologne and the global Steam Playtest for Cats in the Shell have officially come to a successful close.
A massive thank you to all the Cat Pilots who joined us at the booth or played from home!
We have received an incredible amount of invaluable feedback from players worldwide—both online and offline—and we are taking every single note to heart.
The end of the event marks the beginning of a new polishing cycle. The Raven Studio team has already returned to our desks, fully motivated and ready to get to work.
Moving forward, we will be focusing our efforts on:
Evaluating the balance suggestions submitted during the Playtest one by one, and further tuning the Shop Level progression and the stat squish curve.
Addressing the UI pain points exposed during the test by continuing to optimize slot snapping and the overall card management experience.
Building upon our current framework to introduce new gameplay modes, new cards, and new mechanics for future versions.
For the Pilots who missed out on this Playtest, don't worry! Please make sure to add Cats in the Shell to your Steam Wishlist to ensure you're the first to know about our upcoming updates and future testing phases.
We can't wait to see you again in our next update!
Cheers,
Raven Studio
