Warrior Cats: Lake Territory, developed by WarriorCatsRP on Roblox, transitioned into private beta on October 18, 2026.

Map Expansions and Territories

The game map has expanded significantly beyond its initial three-clan layout. Players can navigate between clan camps, landmarks, and neutral zones using an on-screen mini-map that functions while running.

RiverClan Camp and Waterways: RiverClan territory is fully open, featuring river rapids, a waterfall, clan camp entrances, sleeping nests, warrior dens, a nursery, and camp prison areas.
The Moonpool and Ruins: The sacred Moonpool area is accessible alongside ancient stone ruins located nearby in the high territory.
Gathering Island: Located on the lake, connected via lily pads and accessible for multi-clan gatherings.
The Barn and Horse Place: Twoleg structures with climbable hay bales, wooden planks, and open interior stalls.
Twoleg Landmarks: Explorable areas include the greenleaf Twoleg place, an abandoned Twoleg house, footpaths, a northeast hiking trail, a construction site, and a boathouse.
Atmospheric Systems: Map updates feature dynamic weather, including visible rain splashes on surfaces, updated ambient lighting, and scattered harvestable herbs.

Morph Editor and Customization Additions

Character customization includes an expanded morph editor and a morph exchange feature similar to the system in Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition.

Cat Sizes: Players can change body size without extra Robux costs. Available sizes include Small Kit, Kit, Small Apprentice, Apprentice, Warrior, and Large Warrior.
Fur and Details: New physical options include fluffy glowy tails, jaw/chin fluff, split ears, lashes, and ear tufts.
Markings and Coloring: Additional pelt markings, scars, makeup layers, and offset gloss toggles have been integrated.
Pose and Editor Controls: While customizing colors in the editor, players can use pose controls including static left/right views, eye closing, mouth opening, claw sheathing/unsheathing, and walk or sit cycles.
Character Bio: A profile description field is available for player character lore, though developers noted text-saving bugs are still being patched during beta testing.

Animation Wheel and Controls

Movement and roleplay animations feature expanded expression wheels and locomotion speeds.

Locomotion Modes: Movement options include walk, trot, canter, and fast gallop.
Emotes and Poses: Available actions include smile, scared, lay, curl sleep, stretch, dance, yawn, pant, angry emote, and unsheathing claws.
Injury Emotes: Dedicated hind leg limp and right hind limp animations allow players to depict injured cats.
Visual Presets: Graphical settings include presets to balance performance. Preset options adjust focal depth (cat-focused versus landscape-focused) alongside contrast, cooler morning fog, warmer evening haze, and brighter night lighting.

Relationship with Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition

Developer Q&A streams clarified how Lake Territory impacts the legacy game, Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition (WCE):

Maintenance: The development team stated that WCE will continue to be maintained and kept running as long as an active player base supports it, though its update frequency has slowed while development focuses on Lake Territory.
Game Pass Transfers: Direct 1:1 asset transfers from WCE are not possible due to structural differences in the cat rigs. Developers plan to award credits based on previously owned WCE game passes, which can be spent on Lake Territory items.
Accessories Policy: The team is prioritizing natural pelt designs, scars, and lore-accurate items (such as kittypet collars) before considering broader non-natural accessories.
