As a game developed by a team that includes former Frostpunk and The Witcher 3 developers, there is a lot to live up to. The team over at Covenant and Team17 are ready to prove that GORD is going to be the next action-filled city-builder that players will enjoy. We already got a full 16-minute gameplay experience and a look behind the scenes, but it’s nice to get a condensed breakdown.
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. 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.
GORD is planned to launch this Summer on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
