After showing off some gameplay last September, Covenant.dev and publisher Team17 have announced that their upcoming dark fantasy strategy game Gord will arrive later this summer. While no specific release date has been announced, the game will now arrive on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, in addition to the previously announced PC version on Steam.
Created by a team that includes former Frostpunk and The Witcher 3 developers, Gord will see players command the Tribe of the Dawn and embrace the ethical complexity of leadership as they shepherd their community and protect them from invaders and monstrous beasts. Said monstrous beasts are creatures and deities inspired by Slavic folklore.
Players will have to complete quests to grow the tribe’s settlements (known as ‘gords’) and fortify them from invaders while managing their populace.They will need to oversee their citizens’ hunger, disease, and trauma, nurture their faith and train them for battle. That overseeing also includes managing their citizens’ sanity, as everything from illness to hunger and the death of kin can have devastating impact on their lives and well-being.
You’ll also be able to take on an endless variety of challenges by creating your own scenarios in Gord. Customize your playthrough by picking a main objective, choosing your starting party, level size, number of resources, enemy types, raid intensities, and even the weather.
