Team 17 Digital and developer Covenant.dev have announced new DLC for their dark fantasy RTS Gord, launching on February 28th on Steam. Titled “The Alliance”, the DLC builds upon Gord’s world, and includes a new campaign totaling 10 hours in length, new enemies for you to face, new biomes, and the ability to tame certain beasts and monsters. Covenant.dev has also released a nine-minute gameplay video showing off the new DLC’s beast-taming mechanics.
No word on when “The Alliance” DLC will arrive on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series versions of Gord.
Created by a team that includes former Frostpunk and The Witcher 3 developers, Gord sees 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. You will need to oversee your tribe’s hunger, disease, and trauma, as well as nurturing their faith and training 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.
