Earlier today, Team17 announced it will be working with Polish game dev creative house, Covenant.dev, led by former Witcher 3 producer Stan Just, to bring its single-player dark fantasy strategy game, Gord, to PC.
In Gord, players will lead a group called the Tribe of the Dawn as they try to establish new settlements and explore forbidden lands. To survive the horrific creatures and deities, inspired by Slavic folklore, you’ll have to earn supplies via quests in order to build and fortify settlements that’ll protect you from invaders.
