What the official sources actually say
The announcement on WarriorCats.com says the first official Warrior Cats video game will release “this leaf-fall.” It also identifies the game as a turn-based RPG with four different storylines, one for each of the four warrior Clans.[1] Trailmark has opened wishlist and retail preorder routes but does not publish a specific day on its game page.[2]
Steam is the clearest status check for PC: the store page currently lists the release date as To be announced.[3] Until an official source publishes a day and month, retailer placeholder dates and fan estimates should not be presented as confirmed.
What is already available before launch
- Wishlist: the PC version can be wishlisted on Steam.[3]
- Retail preorder: Trailmark says retail preorder is available, and GameStop currently lists the Feral Edition at $39.99 in the US.[2][4]
- Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC are all represented in official listings.
- Rating: Xbox and GameStop show ESRB Everyone 10+ with Fantasy Violence.
What to watch for next
The next meaningful release update is not another rumor—it is one of four concrete signals: an exact date on Steam, a dated announcement from Warrior Cats or Trailmark, first-party console store dates, or a publisher press release. When that happens, this page should update the hero answer, structured data, preorder page, platform pages and sitemap together.
Why “Fall 2026” is the safest wording
“Fall 2026” translates the official seasonal language into a form that matches how players search while preserving the uncertainty around the exact day. It also avoids turning a retailer inventory date into a false publisher announcement. This page deliberately favors a slightly broader answer over a more clickable but unsupported date.
