Fantasy is having a moment across every entertainment medium, and the beloved Warrior Cats book series is joining the trend with a brand-new video game. The franchise, which has captivated readers for over two decades with its epic tales of feline clans, is officially expanding into interactive entertainment.
Trailmark Games and the Coolabi Group have announced Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest, a turn-based RPG inspired directly by the novels. Players will step into the paws of a warrior cat, hunting prey, honing skills, and defending their territory against rival clans. The game will feature all four iconic clans—ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, and WindClan—each with unique characters and challenges.
The game is set to launch this fall on PlayStation, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and the newly announced Nintendo Switch 2. While an exact release date hasn't been revealed, fans won't have to wait long to dive into this immersive feline adventure.
This announcement comes on the heels of another major Warrior Cats expansion: an animated series that landed at Disney Plus earlier this year, expected to premiere in 2028. The show promises to bring the rich world of the books to a new generation of viewers, and the game will offer a complementary interactive experience.
For those unfamiliar with the source material, Warrior Cats is a sprawling fantasy series that has spawned over 100 books, graphic novels, and field guides. Its intricate world-building and complex characters have earned it a dedicated fanbase, and the upcoming game aims to capture that depth.
