Battle Kitty is an interactive animated streaming television series created by Matt Layzell. It was produced in 2022 by Netflix Animation for Netflix and was animated using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4. [2] The show was removed from Netflix on December 1, 2024, [3] though it's still available via unofficial YouTube reuploads. [4] [5]
Set in a futuristic-medieval world, where warriors from around the world face off in a Battle Royale style competition, Battle Kitty follows the adventures of an adorable yet feisty kitten named Kitty, using magical bows instead of swords or axes, who along with their best friend Orc, embarks on a quest to become a great champion, by training to become a warrior, defeating all the monsters on Battle Island, and collecting their coveted keys. The duo face many obstacles and naysayers on their path to championhood, only to discover a surprise waiting in store for them at the Ancient Ruins. [6]
