Overview
- Trailmark Games and Coolabi unveiled Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026, saying the turn-based RPG is slated for a fall 2026 release on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
- The game centers on a player-created protagonist who joins one of four Clans—ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, or WindClan—and plays through four distinct, clan-specific story campaigns shaped by player choices and relationships.
- Gameplay mixes turn-based combat that uses timing, tactics, and clan-specific moves with special ancestor abilities tied to StarClan, and it includes book locations such as the Moonpool and the Island alongside original characters.
- Players can deeply customize their cat and den, craft items and move-sets, and visit friends’ dens through asynchronous online features that emphasize personalization and light social sharing.
- The release comes as Coolabi secures broader franchise distribution, with a previously announced animated series produced with Tencent picked up by Disney for 2028 release, a move that could widen the series’ audience and merchandising opportunities after two decades of novels.
