The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and Warsaw-based (Poland) indie games developer Covenant.dev, are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the “The Alliance” DLC for their dark fantasy strategy game “Gord” (the said DLC is available right now for PC via Steam and GOG for $11.99/€11.99/£9.99).

‘The Alliance’ brings a wealth of new content to Gord’s unforgiving primordial world, including a new campaign, three new monsters, three new Horrors, new NPCs, three new humanoid enemies, two new biomes, a multi-stage final battle, and the ability to tame certain beasts and monsters.
