Trailmark Games and the Coolabi Group have confirmed that Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest is in development for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, with a planned worldwide release at retail and on the Nintendo eShop in Fall 2026.
The title is developed by Bamtang Games and is presented as a turn-based role-playing game inspired by the bestselling Warrior Cats novel series.
According to the announcement, the game asks players to create their own warrior and choose allegiance to one of four Clans: ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, or WindClan.
Each Clan delivers a distinct story campaign rooted in its culture and traditions, offering players four separate narrative experiences across the forest setting.
The publisher detailed the core pillars of the experience in a feature breakdown.
Players will encounter both original characters and familiar faces from the Warrior Cats universe, and decisions and relationships will influence each playthrough as protagonists pursue Clan goals and investigate the mysteries of StarClan.
The release note emphasizes branching storylines, unique prophecies, and dynamic quests that change according to player choice.
Gameplay highlights confirmed by the developer and publisher include:
- Four Clan Campaigns: Each Clan provides a full story with its own prophecies, rivalries, and characters, encouraging multiple playthroughs to see the forest from different perspectives.
- Character Customization: Deep visual customization allows players to tailor fur patterns, colours, tails, whiskers, ears, eyes, and markings when creating a warrior cat.
- Den Customisation and Asynchronous Social Features: Players can personalise dens with unlockable decorations and craft items such as bedding and scratching posts, and share den visits asynchronously with friends.
- Exploration of Iconic Locations: The game features diverse environments including forests, marshes, moorlands, the Moonpool, and the Island with hidden paths and environmental puzzles.
- Turn-Based Combat and Clan Abilities: Combat emphasizes timing, tactics, and specialised Clan moves, including powerful ancestor attacks tied to StarClan.
- Legacy and Progression: Actions affect reputation and relationships within your Clan, contributing to long-term legacy mechanics.
Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest will be available both digitally on the Nintendo eShop and at retail for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch in Fall 2026.
The title represents a notable licensed adaptation of the Warrior Cats IP into a strategy-focused RPG on Nintendo platforms.
