Battle Cats Exhibition Brings Popular Mobile Hit to Yokohama in 2026

Nyanko Daisensou, the PONOS Corporation mobile game that has logged over 100 million downloads globally as The Battle Cats, is coming off the app store and into the real world. "Everyone Deploy! The Battle Cats Exhibition" opens at YOKOHAMA COAST (ASOBIRU 2F ROOM1) on April 24 and runs through May 24, 2026, with organizers projecting tens of thousands of visitors over the month-long stop.

The exhibition is part of a touring run, but Yokohama is carrying items no other stop will. Exclusive collectible merchandise and limited-run prizes are only available at this venue. The show itself features stage recreations, behind-the-scenes content on the franchise's art direction and unit design, and a dedicated merchandise shop alongside curated displays tracing the series' visual identity and cultural quirks.

The full month of programming at ASOBIRU 2F ROOM1 gives fans a wide booking window, but organizers caution that timed-entry slots and weekend sessions are expected to fill quickly. Official event pages list ticketing tiers and merch bundle options; anyone targeting the Yokohama-only goods will want to check those well before the April 24 opening.

A touring exhibition built around a mobile title is its own kind of milestone. The Battle Cats has held a substantial Japanese following under the Nyanko Daisensou name since its original release, and its install base makes the economics work: a franchise with that kind of reach can fill a venue, move limited goods, and generate the social content that functions as earned media for the live game itself. PONOS is running a physical campaign for a mobile title, using venue exclusivity and community energy to do what in-app events do digitally.

The exhibition signals something broader too: mobile IP with strong character design and deep cultural roots in Japan has the commercial gravity to anchor a touring show. The cats deploy April 24.
