Turn-Based RPG Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest Announced for Consoles and PC
Developer Bamtang Games, known for Cruis’n Blast, and publisher Trailmark Games have officially revealed their next major title: Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest. Bringing the beloved universe to consoles and PC, the turn-based RPG is scheduled to launch in autumn 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. While a specific release date has not been confirmed, store pages are live, allowing players to wishlist the title immediately.
The announcement coincides with news of an animated series for Disney+ coming in 2028, signaling a major revival for the franchise. While the series is still years away, the game aims to be a cornerstone release for fans. Up until now, the most notable interactive adaptation was Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition on Roblox. In contrast, this project offers deep tactical combat mechanics, branching narrative paths, and asynchronous visits to friend dens.
Key Gameplay Features: Four Clans, Customization, and Combat
The core feature of the game is four full-length campaigns, each dedicated to one of the primary clans: ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, and WindClan. Every storyline presents its own prophecies, rivalries, and unique quests, reflected through distinct gameplay characteristics whether brave, graceful, cunning, or swift. Clan selection directly impacts available battle moves, dialogue options, and den customization.
In addition to choosing a clan, players can customize their cat’s visual features, including fur patterns, eye color, tail shape, and ear structure. Dens can be decorated with scavenged items, beds, and scratching posts. The tactical turn-based combat relies on timing, stance selection, clan-specific abilities, and powerful ancestral attacks granted by StarClan.
Release Window, Platforms, and Pre-Order Details
An exact release date has not been announced, with official channels pointing to a launch window of autumn 2026 (September through November). The Steam store page lists the date as “To be announced.” Official pricing details and pre-orders have not yet launched, though select international retailers have begun taking early listings for physical Switch editions.
Platform availability is confirmed across current and next-generation consoles from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, alongside PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Wishlisting the game on Steam is currently the most direct way to receive updates regarding the release date.
PC System Requirements: Minimum and Recommended Specifications
The official PC system requirements have been published on Steam, showing accessible hardware targets for a wide range of systems.
The modest storage size and accessible GPU requirements indicate a focus on optimization over hardware-intensive visual fidelity, fitting for a turn-based tactical RPG.
Where to Track News and Release Updates
To receive notifications when the exact release date is announced, players can add Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest to their Steam wishlist. Additional updates and trailers are periodically shared via the official Warrior Cats Instagram account and the warriorcats.com main site.
This project marks the second major licensed title from Trailmark Games, following their launch of The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival in June 2026. Given the global audience for the Warrior Cats books, further gameplay reveals and news updates are expected during autumn gaming showcases.
