London: Leading independent international media group and rights owner Coolabi Group has secured a deal with Red Games Co. to create an official Warrior Cats mobile game which will launch in 2027 further growing the brand extensions of the hit IP.

Currently in development, the game will be localised into 12 languages initially and will be available worldwide (except China).

Red Games Co. is an independent game developer and publisher, with a focus on creating multi-generational, family-friendly games and experiences. The company licenses and partners with industry leaders including LEGO, Hasbro, Mattel, Moonbug, and Crayola, as well as developing its own original IP. Red Games Co. was named #7 on Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in Gaming for 2024.

This deal follows Coolabi’s appointment of Bonkers Toys as the Master Toy Partner and Retail Monster as the North American Licensing Agent. Both those agreements were signed earlier this year. Coolabi has also signed a deal with Tencent Video to develop the property for TV and film.

Warrior Cats is Coolabi’s biggest hit to date. Based on the best-selling series it is huge publishing success story (77m+ books sold in 38 languages and 15+ years on the New York Times bestseller list) and an unrivalled chart-topper on gaming platform Roblox over a prolonged period with a massive and rapidly growing fandom across social media (600m+ plays on Roblox, 1.9b+ TikTok views).

Jeremy Banks, CEO at Coolabi Group’s says: “Warrior Cats already has a huge and fast-growing global fandom which extends across book, Roblox and YouTube. We are very excited to work with the enormously talented team at Red Games Co. to bring our first mobile game to fans new and old to further build the franchise and its fandom.”

Brian Lovell, CEO of Red Games Co. says: “We’re thrilled to partner with Coolabi to bring the beloved Warrior Cats universe to life in a new way. Together, we’re building an experience that honors the legacy of these incredible stories and gives fans around the world an entirely new way to explore, play, and connect.”
