In 2010, a gray cat made his debut on smartphones around the world. He repeated our words, pulled funny faces, and made millions of people laugh with just a tap. That cat was Talking Tom and he quickly became one of the first viral stars of the mobile era.
15 years later and Talking Tom Cat, the OG game from the Talking Tom & Friends brand, is back. Remastered and refreshed, the game is ready to entertain a new generation, while reminding long-time fans why they loved him in the first place.
From One Game to a Global Universe
When Talking Tom Cat first launched, it showed the world that mobile games could be simple, playful, and endlessly shareable. People recorded Talking Tom, remixed his voice, and spread the fun everywhere.
The impact was enormous. The original game was downloaded more than 1.5 billion times, and players poked Tom over 260 billion times, each interaction adding to his place in internet culture. What began as a single game has since grown into the Talking Tom & Friends universe - a franchise of over 20 games, numerous chart-topping animated series, and global entertainment experiences.
Nostalgia, Reimagined
The remaster is more than a technical update. It’s a celebration of what made the original so memorable, with a fresh layer added for today. Tom still talks back. He still makes silly faces. And, yes, he still reacts when you poke him. But now those moments feel sharper and more expressive, with every smirk, eyebrow raise, and reaction polished for today’s players. The remaster also adds new animations and playful interactions, from surprising food reactions to fresh voice filters, all while keeping the familiar street corner setting that fans remember. It’s the same Talking Tom at heart, brought to life with a little extra spark.
Looking Ahead
Outfit7 has come a long way since Talking Tom’s first appearance. From one groundbreaking game, we built a global entertainment brand that continues to grow and evolve. Yet at the heart of it all is the same idea that started in 2010: playful, simple fun that connects people everywhere.
For those who grew up with Tom, this new remaster is a chance to relive the laughter of the early smartphone days. For those meeting him for the first time, it’s an introduction to the character who helped define mobile play.
