Neko Atsume took the world by storm in 2014 with its simple yet adorable (and equally addictive) premise: lay down food and toys, and wait for cute cats to come over to play! Its popularity also led to a live action movie that premiered in Apr. 2017, as well as a photobook showcasing its feline stars.

There are no further details at present about how VR may play into the classic game, but what's certain is that a whole new dimension of cat collecting fun is coming!
