Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest (PC) - Steam Key - EUROPE

Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest is a single-player action-adventure RPG with turn-based combat, based on Erin Hunter's best-selling Warrior Cats (Warriors) novel series. It was developed by Bamtang Games and published by Trailmark Games with the Coolabi Group, and it released on October 23, 2026. You create your own warrior cat, join one of four Clans, rise through the ranks and uncover an original story tied to StarClan, set in the Lake Territories.

Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Xbox version supports Xbox Play Anywhere. The PS5 version supports Remote Play and DualSense vibration and trigger effects. Physical editions are also available on consoles.

You can join ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan or ShadowClan, the four Clans of the Lake Territories. Each Clan has its own story campaign built around its culture, traditions and home territory. The four campaigns share a similar overall structure, but each one offers a different starting point and perspective on the central mystery, so it is worth replaying with every Clan.

Yes. Combat is turn-based, with battles of up to three cats versus three, while exploration happens in real time. Enemies include rival Clan cats, rogues, rats, birds and badgers, and you unlock new combat skills as your warrior progresses. Injuries sustained in battle also show visually on your cat.

The game has three modes. Prophecy Mode is the main story mode, with four original stories about Clan life. In Defender Mode you battle the game's toughest enemies in a single run to see how long you can survive. Skirmish Mode lets you battle other players online asynchronously.

Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest is primarily a single-player game, and online play is optional. There is no real-time co-op. Skirmish Mode offers asynchronous player-versus-player battles, so you and your opponent do not need to be online at the same time. A den-visiting feature also lets friends drop into your camp online.

The cat creator lets you design your warrior from scratch. You choose fur patterns, colors, tails, whiskers, ears, eyes and markings, along with your cat's name, nature and personality traits. The developers advertise millions of possible customization combinations, and the Feral Edition adds extra creator elements and wearable accessories.

No. Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest tells original, previously untold stories rather than retelling the novels, so newcomers can start without any knowledge of the lore. Long-time fans will still recognize iconic cats from the books, alongside an original cast, and familiar locations such as the four Clan territories and the Moonpool.

Besides fighting, you can:

• Hunt prey to keep your Clan fed.
• Climb trees, pounce through undergrowth and track scents.
• Solve environmental puzzles.
• Complete main and side quests.
• Gather materials, craft items and furnish your den.
• Train with Clanmates to practice newly unlocked combat skills.

A Scent skill temporarily reveals the path to your pinned quest when you get lost.

It is semi-open. You explore large territories inspired by the books, including forests, marshes, moorlands and sacred landmarks, but the game is not fully open-world and some areas are bounded. Characters, quests and stories are procedurally generated, so no two playthroughs are the same.

Each Clan story is fairly short, and critics place the game in the under-20-hours range. Some players reach higher Clan ranks within the first few hours. The game is designed for replay: four Clan campaigns, procedurally generated quests and characters, and the Defender and Skirmish modes all extend playtime well beyond a single run.

The Standard Edition includes the full base game and all three game modes. The Feral Edition adds the Prophecy Pack, which contains:

• 8 extra cat creator elements
• 12 wearable accessories
• A cel-shaded character skin
• 4 cat poses for photo mode
• 4 photo mode effects

The Prophecy Pack extras are cosmetic, so story content is the same in both editions.

Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest is rated ESRB Everyone 10+ and PEGI 7. Battles between Clans and against wild animals are shown in a stylized, turn-based form, so the game suits the series' young readers as well as adult fans of the books.

The PC version requires Windows 10/11 64-bit.

• Minimum: quad-core 2.8 GHz CPU, 8 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB or Radeon RX 580 8 GB, and about 4 GB of storage.
• Recommended: hexa-core 3.2 GHz CPU, 16 GB RAM, and GeForce RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 6800 XT.
