Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest — News and Updates

I built this timeline from Trailmark posts, the Warrior Cats articles, and the Steam news feed. The newest item I can date is 24 October 2026. If you are looking for a version number, there was not one yet. That absence is the news.

The pre-order cosmetic closed when the game unlocked. Do not expect the Purrfect Look Pack on a copy bought after 23 October. The physical Xbox Series X delay, to 3 November in the US and 6 November in the UK and Europe, was in the same launch notes and does not affect digital copies.
