On September 22, 2019 https://aminoapps.com/c/warriors/page/blog/my-own-warrior-cats-game-ultimate-edition/Zagz_ewcBuQ8J8Pk6LJ2MMYzLKjom5oJbo , Vizavi, who goes by Vizstar on the Warriors Amino, announced that Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition would be an upcoming Roblox fangame based on the Warriors series. This game would go on to become an official warriors game and advertised on the warriors site. However, before it got to that point, the game has went through many phases (such as pre-BETA, BETA, Paid access BETA, free-release), etc. This page is dedicated to listing all of the major updates that were implemented in the game. 
==History==
===Forest Territory===
“Six years of Forest. We thank you for your dedication and for sticking around with us, but as we grow, our quality grows too. Expect Ultimate Edition to release some time in 2020. Thank you, young warrior!”
In Warrior Cats: Forest Territory, a scrolling box on the side of the screen had multiple buttons. One of these buttons, named “The Future”, talked about how Forest would be closing to direct players to Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition.
===Before Paid Access===
Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition was released on June 17, 2019. It initially contained limited customization and only preset cat morphs, along with a completely different map that contained cars that could actually kill players. This phase ended with a the game shutting down for at least a year before it came back in paid access beta.
===Paid Beta===
Around April of 2020https://www.rolimons.com/game/3663340706, the game re-opened with a new map, a lobby, herbs, and customization. The cars were removed for "lag purposes." Accessories were also added, along with a winter map during winter of 2020 and a grayscale map for April fools day in 2021. There were also several new limited gamepasses. The game was also officially in beta and costed 35 robux.
===End of Beta ===
May 7th, 2021, the lobby was upgraded to a space-theme with a timer. When the timer ended, the map was bombarded with explosions, fire, glowing trees, and lightning and players were given a badge. That marked the end of beta, paid-access, and rose to a new era in the game's history.
===Full Release===
Since May 7th of 2021, the game has been through several different updates. The map had an even bigger upgrade, with realistic trees, detailed river-beds and nests, and an upgraded house. The morphs had been slightly modified to look better, and much more customization options have been added. A lore guide was also added for new players, also known as the Starpedia. All feathered accessories were also eventually removed do to complaints about cultural appropriation. For the month of June in 2021, a new striped collar accessory was released. For the month of July 2021, players got the herb interaction update and map interactions update. There was also a new realistic lighting setting and an in-game update log. Autumn introduced the return of a limited gamepass, a new fall themed map, and two limited Halloween gamepasses. Winter introduced a winter map with snow, the return of a limited winter gamepass, and the arrival of a new gamepass. Valentines also introduced a new limited gamepass and the return of another, along with the ability to color each part on a tail streak. On March 16th, 2022, the New-Leaf map was restored with new emotes and an update. This update also introduced more customization options, such as separately colored ear tufts and paws. 
===Second Year of Full Release===
During spring of 2022, a new limited gamepass was added for spring, and several new free accessories were added. The roles update was also added, which meant that characters could now select roles based on what clan/group they were in. In order to celebrate Pride Month in June, the kittypet house gained several new changes, including pride flag themed rugs, books, and toy mice. For Fall, they readded last years' gamepasses and made a couple of new ones, such as the Scarecrow and Steampunk outfits, as well as holding two events, the Pumpkin Hunt and the Enigma, with limited accessories (you could not equip them.) For December, they did an event with NPCs, trying to find gifts to hunt for, or the "Giftbringer", as well as adding back old accessories and made two new outfits. For Warrior Cats' 20th anniversary, they added a new gamepass, the Star Vine Set, and added a new code: warriorcats20years. For Valentines, they brought back the gamepasses from the previous years and added a new gamepass, as well as officially announcing prey in the changelog and doing their first testing session with a map refresh and two types of prey - mice and birds.
