Trailmark Games and the Coolabi Group have confirmed that Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest will launch worldwide on 23 October 2026 for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, with availability at retail and digitally via the Nintendo eShop.
Developed by Bamtang Games, the turn-based RPG adapts the beloved Warrior Cats novel series, tasking players with hunting, training, and defending their Clan while progressing through rank-based story campaigns.
Publisher statements summarized by reporters make clear that players will first create a custom warrior and select one of four canonical Clans—ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, or WindClan—each offering a distinct story campaign grounded in its culture and traditions.
The publisher outlined core features that shape the game's scope: multiple full-length campaigns, deep character and den customization, distinct Clan abilities, turn-based combat, and branching storylines influenced by player choices.
Key confirmed features and gameplay elements:
- Four Clans, Four Full Stories: Each Clan provides a separate campaign with unique prophecies, rivalries, characters, and challenges.
- Create Your Own Warrior Cat: Extensive customization options include fur patterns, colours, tails, whiskers, ears, eyes, and markings.
- Customise Den and Combat Style: Players can personalise dens with unlockable decorations and craft items, train moves, and experiment with combat stances.
The game supports asynchronous online den visits to show customised warriors to friends.
- Explore Iconic Locations: Environments include forests, marshes, moorlands, and sacred sites from the series such as the Moonpool and the Island, featuring hidden paths, environmental puzzles, and meaningful encounters.
- Turn-Based Combat and Clan Abilities: Combat emphasizes timing and tactics, with specialised Clan moves and ancestor attacks granted by StarClan to overcome predators, rival warriors, and bosses.
- Branching Storylines and Clan Legacy: Player choices affect relationships, rivalries, reputation, and the long-term legacy within a Clan.
The announcement and feature summary were reported by Alex Seedhouse, a Nintendo-focused journalist with 16 years of experience covering Nintendo hardware and software across multiple console generations.
