"Originally slated for a Winter 2025 release, the developers announced they've made the difficult decision to shift the release into next year, despite strong development progress. "Witchbrook is a big project, and it's taking shape exactly as we hoped; full of charm, depth, and detail," the developer shared, emphasizing its commitment to quality and maintaining a healthy work environment. Chucklefish added that while this approach can extend timelines, it leads to "better games" crafted by "developers who are healthy and well-rested.""
"Set in the seaside city of Mossport, Witchbrook invites players to enroll at the magical Witchbrook College. As an aspiring witch, you'll uncover a rich world where the familiar and fantastical entwine. Players can expect to build lasting friendships, explore mystical environments, discover forgotten secrets, and even find love, all while learning to harness magic. "We wanted to create a living, breathing world for you to explore," Chucklefish continued, and how it wanted a game full of "spellbinding stories, captivating quests, and enchanting systems.""
Witchbrook has been delayed to 2026, moving from an initial Winter 2025 release window to allow more development time. The delay prioritizes quality and maintaining a healthy work environment, with the belief that longer timelines produce better games built by healthy, well-rested developers. The game is set in the seaside city of Mossport where players enroll at Witchbrook College and play as aspiring witches. Players can build friendships, explore mystical environments, uncover forgotten secrets, find romance, and learn to harness magic. A Map of Mossport was revealed showing fully playable areas, and more updates are promised including character customization and a new Witchbrook Oracle.
