After numerous delays, Chucklefish has announced a January 2027 release date for magical life sim Witchbrook in today’s Nintendo Indie Direct showcase. It also added a PlayStation 5 version, so it will launch for PC, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox. In the game, you enroll in Witchbrook College and immerse yourself in its magical world of friendship and discovery.
Hike through the concealed paths of Shadhollow Forest, or take in the salty sea air on the beaches of Parasol Sands. Mossport’s high street is a lively city centre with shops, delicacies, and friendly faces. The Student Village, beneath the façade of Witchbrook College, buzzes with energy thanks to a community of lively young witches. If you need to relax, head to Shadbrooke Cottage and its verdant garden. Down the lane are peaceful farmlands and a secluded fishing spot. Each area connects naturally to the next.
