Interesting real-time strategy (RTS) games are hard to come by these days. It used to be that you get games across different kinds of themes, all of which very cool to play. Some of my favourites included Warcraft, StarCraft, Command & Conquer, Dawn of War, Age of Empires and Homeworld. So when Team17 Digital and Covenant.dev announced that the dark fantasy strategy game Gord will launch this summer, my interest was immediately perked.

Gord will arrive on the PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S, alongside PC via the previously confirmed Steam version. 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.

The game features a unique sanity system, and players 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. For more news on Gord, do stay tuned to Nineoverten.com and the game is now available to wish-list on Steam.
