Witchbrook finally has a release date

Eight years is no short wait. Chucklefish announced during the Nintendo Indie World broadcast on 28 October that Witchbrook will come out on 28 January 2027, and released a new gameplay trailer with the news. The date is also on the official site and the Steam page. The game launches the same day on PC (Steam), Switch, Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The PS5 version was added with this announcement. According to sites quoting the press release, the digital price is $24.99 and the game will be on Game Pass from day one. Neither of these appears on the official site. Regional prices have not been announced. Physical editions come later than the digital release.

Chucklefish is making the game together with Robotality, a studio from Germany. You study witchcraft at Witchbrook College in Mossport, a seaside town. The classes are Alchemy, Astrology, Tarot and Rituals. On top of those you get exams, friendships, a witch's shop that serves the town and flying on a broomstick. Up to four players can play online co-op. The game supports ten languages, but Turkish isn't one of them.

Witchbrook got its name in 2018. In March 2025 it was dated "Winter 2025", then it slipped to 2026. Now, for the first time, it has an actual day. January will tell us whether this one holds.
