Release Date Announcement

Hi everyone!

We've got some big news for you today...

Release Date

We’re incredibly excited to announce that Witchbrook will be launching on January 28th, 2027 across PC & consoles. Check out the new Release Date trailer below, an extended version from what was revealed in today’s Nintendo showcase:

Witchbrook Release Date Announcement Trailer

The eagle-eyed amongst you might spot some previously unrevealed faces and features, including Witchbrook College’s ghostly Chancellor (lovingly dubbed ‘The Deadmaster’ by his students), the spellcasting mechanic and some handy new spells, studying and the knowledge system, potion-making, tarot, magical little creatures roaming within a strange stone structure, a sneak peek at some of your covenmate’s storylines which will unfold as your friendships blossom, plus much more we’ll let you spot for yourselves!

We have poured detail and care into every pixel, to create a truly handcrafted experience. We can’t wait to open Witchbrook College’s grand doors to new students in January, and introduce you to the town and people of Mossport.

Thank you for all of your support and patience, especially within the last year, while we took the additional time to make a game we’re truly proud of. We hope you’ll enjoy immersing yourself in our magical pixel art world as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.

Also Coming to… PlayStation 5!

We know a lot of you within the community were asking for this one, so we’re pleased to announce that Witchbrook will also be launching on PS5, on day 1 alongside PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox!

Thanks to our partners at playeverywhere who have helped make this possible!

Digital Price & Physical Edition

Witchbrook will be $24.99 at launch (further regional prices shared closer to launch), playable in English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

We’re also pleased to share the news that a physical Standard + Collector’s Edition is in the works! These will be available a little while after the initial digital release, to avoid impacting the release schedule, and to ensure they’re truly special for physical media collectors. A formal physical edition announcement will be communicated at a later date, alongside more information on platforms and special editions!

Meet Kiara

Just in time for spooky season, we wanted to introduce you to your gothy new covenmate, Kiara Chandra. Kiara is a sardonic and intelligent post-grad student, with an aptitude for the Arcane Arts and a pragmatic approach to dealing with the supernatural. If you’re in her good graces, consider yourself lucky. If not…

See her full reveal teaser video here.

New OST Track - Autumn Suite

We recently shared a new soundtrack preview, Autumn Suite, composed by David Fenn. Pull on your comfy boots and take a gentle stroll with us through Mossport’s Trails area, taking in the Autumn colours as crisp fallen leaves swirl in the cool breeze… Enjoy!

Thank you to everyone who has been following Witchbrook’s progress over the years. We can’t wait to share the game with you.
