AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest launches on October 23, 2026, bringing a tactical, story-driven RPG experience to PC and major consoles.
Erin Hunter’s massive book franchise is finally making the jump to a fully licensed console and PC release with Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest, launching on October 23, 2026. Coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and both Nintendo Switch hardware generations, the turn-based role-playing game looks to capture the strategic depth of the novels. According to Bamtang Games Creative Director Adam Johnston, the team opted for a tactical, stance-shifting combat system rather than frantic button-mashing to properly reflect how Clan conflicts, badger fights, and territorial patrols play out in the source material.
Player expression sits at the core of the experience, letting fans step away from established book protagonists to build their own custom warrior. The game features deep visual customization that evolves as cats age from young apprentices into battle-scarred veterans. Coolabi Group, the media company managing the rights, worked closely with the development team to ensure the four original Clans and their respective prophecies receive an authentic adaptation. Developers even brought in community super fans throughout production to keep traditional lore and Gathering etiquette intact.
With the franchise approaching its 25th anniversary and boasting massive engagement across publishing and platforms like Roblox, Clans of the Forest represents a major milestone for the community. Coolabi also confirmed that additional digital initiatives and an animated series are on the horizon. For millions of readers who grew up imagining their own place in the forest, this fall release offers a long-awaited chance to turn personal fandom into an interactive legacy.
