Dark fantasy strategy game GORD, developed by Covenant.dev and published by Team17 Digital, will launch this later this year for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, alongside the previously announced Steam release. Check out the new trailer!
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.

Hand-Crafted Quests: Take on a wide variety of quests and random encounters that will lead you deep into the wilderness to hunt legendary creatures, uncover ancient secrets, and vanquish deadly scourges
Powerful Incantations: Unlock a variety of offensive and defensive spells to tip combat in your favor, each with custom animations and potentially gruesome results
Custom Scenarios mode with Procedurally Generated Levels: Take on an endless variety of challenges by creating your own scenarios. Customize your playthrough by picking a main objective, choosing your starting party, level size, number of resources, enemy types, raid intensities, and even the severity of the weather!
