‘Warrior Cats’ Video Game Announced Based on Hit Novel Series

August 6, 2026 - 21:14

The game is set to let players create their own cat and join one of the four main clans, then navigate the challenges of forest life. That means hunting for prey, defending territory, and dealing with the shifting loyalties that define the books. The turn-based combat is built around the skills and traits of each cat, so players will need to think about positioning and timing rather than just mashing buttons.

While the team at Trailmark Games has not shared a release date yet, they did say the game will feature a story mode that follows the events of the first series, along with a sandbox mode for those who just want to live out their clan fantasy without the pressure of a narrative. The art style leans into a painterly, storybook look, which fits the tone of the source material.

For fans of the series, this has been a long time coming. The novels, which started in 2003, have sold over 40 million copies worldwide and have spawned multiple spin-off series, graphic novels, and even a short-lived web game. The new RPG appears to be the most ambitious adaptation yet, with a focus on player choice and clan politics. More details are expected later this year.
