Witchbrook Gets Release Window After 8 Long Years

The highly anticipated wizard school life-sim, Witchbrook, developed by Chucklefish, has finally received a release window after its initial reveal eight years ago. Originally teased in 2016 as Project Spellbound, the game was officially announced in 2017 and has drawn comparisons to Stardew Valley, another Chucklefish project. Witchbrook will be available in winter 2025 across PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox, featuring a day one Game Pass release. Players can explore the seaside city of Mossport, engage in online co-op multiplayer, and experience various gameplay elements such as crafting, mini-games, and seasonal events.

Chucklefish's CTO has expressed deep excitement about the project and emphasized its unprecedented level of simulation and fidelity for an indie pixel art game. The development team hopes Witchbrook will resonate with players seeking a relaxing gaming experience that emphasizes connection and community.

Witchbrook is scheduled to launch in winter 2025.

Witchbrook is not just another indie game; it's a collaborative effort from the same studio that brought us Stardew Valley. The game is designed to immerse players in a charming, magical world that encourages thoughtful living and community building—ideal for fans of cozy simulation and RPG genres. The addition of co-op multiplayer enhances the experience, allowing friends to explore and build their magical lives together.
