Gord News

In Gord, we want to tell a story. One that encapsulates this fantastical world and takes players on a journey through powerful themes and experiences.

Be that an encounter with a horrifying beast, or dealing with a plague ripping its way through your populace, Gord lets you shape your own narrative, while guiding you through a rich one of its own.



The cinematics in Gord are designed to not only progress the main story, but outline important moments for your villagers and key story characters, delivering a sense of immersion into this foreboding world.

Team17 and Covenant.dev have today announced that dark fantasy, strategy adventure game Gord will launch on Steam this summer.




Created by a team that includes former Frostpunk and The Witcher 3 developers, Gord has players take command of 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. They will need to oversee their citizens’ hunger, disease, and trauma, nurture their faith and train them for battle, while also expanding their settlements – the titular 'gords' – and embarking on a variety of life-threatening quests.
