March 27, 2024 — Nyan Heroes today announced a partnership with G2 Esports, one of the leading global esports and entertainment brands, to establish its foundation in esports and connect with fans.
Developed by 9 Lives Interactive, Nyan Heroes is a next-generation hero shooter game with unique gameplay mechanics and cat-inspired IP to drive mass adoption. Players select from 8 guardian classes and use both unique abilities and agile, feline-inspired movement to secure objectives and defeat opponents. Mechs can be extensively customized through an inventive “augment weapon” system, offering diverse play styles and avenues to showcase advanced skill levels.
G2 Esports, which is celebrated for its decorated roster across nine premier esports titles, including DOTA 2, League of Legends, and VALORANT, will introduce Nyan Heroes to a broader community of esports players and enthusiasts.
Currently, in pre-alpha, Nyan Heroes has landed in the top ten games on Epic Games wishlist and has seen over 450,000 signups following a recent announcement of its Early Access Playtest, available from March 26th to April 9th. In the future, Nyan Heroes plans to organize fun, friendly show matches between some of the biggest esports organizations in the world.
“Teaming up with an esteemed esports giant such as G2 Esports reaffirms our dedication to leaving a significant impact in the esports realm. We’re devoted to fostering competitive gaming across various tiers, from elite tournaments to local communities, highlighting our confidence in Nyan Heroes’ potential to emerge as an esports sensation akin to the early stages of the Overwatch League,” stated Max Fu, Creative Director and CEO of 9 Lives Interactive.
“G2 Esports is constantly seeking dynamic partners eager to revolutionize the scene, and 9 Lives Interactive prioritizes crafting fresh gaming experiences with game development at the forefront. We’re thrilled to join forces with them on their journey with Nyan Heroes, as they push boundaries in competitive gaming. We have full confidence in Max and his team and are eager to embark on this collaboration together. And although G2 is typically a dog-friendly office, we’re equally fond of cats,” remarked Donald Boyce, Head of Business Development at G2 Esports.
