Stardust: Wish of Witch komt in Q1 2027 naar Nintendo Switch 2 en PS5
Kniv Studio confirms Stardust: Wish of Witch is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 in Q1 2027. It’s already on PC.
- The console versions are scheduled for Q1 2027; an exact release date has not been announced.
- The game has been playable on PC since May 28, 2026 and currently has around 80% positive Steam reviews.
What happened
Kniv Studio has shown in a new trailer that Stardust: Wish of Witch is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5. The studio lists both console versions for release in the first quarter of 2027, but has not shared an exact date yet. That means the console rollout will arrive well after the PC release on May 28, 2026.
The game is not new to PC players. Stardust: Wish of Witch launched there on May 28, 2026 and currently sits at roughly 80% positive user reviews on Steam. That figure is a snapshot and may change over time, but it does show the PC version has been available for some time and has been received positively by a large share of players.
According to Kniv Studio, Stardust: Wish of Witch is a turn-based JRPG with deckbuilding elements. In battles, players choose a position and unit for each encounter, after which cards are used to unlock things like chain attacks or a counter to an enemy move. The mix of turn-based combat and card-driven actions forms the core of the battle system the studio highlighted again in the trailer.
Alongside the digital console versions, physical editions have also been announced for PS5 and Switch 2. These are already available to pre-order through Silver Lining and include a bonus code for the soundtrack. The listed suggested prices are $40.00 for PS5 and $51.00 for Switch 2; a digital price has not been announced yet. The exact shipping date for the physical editions is also still unconfirmed, so the pre-order is mainly an early announcement of the retail releases.

2026-05-28 — Stardust: Wish of Witch launches on PC and becomes playable on Steam.
2026-10-14 — Kniv Studio confirms the Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 versions in a new trailer.

Background
The PC version forms the basis for Stardust: Wish of Witch’s console rollout. The available information points to a mix of classic JRPG combat and card-driven tactics, but Kniv Studio has not confirmed any platform differences between PC, Switch 2, and PS5. For now, the only thing clear is that the console versions are due in the same first quarter of 2027, not how they compare technically or content-wise to the PC release.
There is also still some uncertainty around the physical release. Silver Lining has already opened pre-orders, but no exact shipping date has been announced. The suggested prices are already known, though: $40.00 for the PlayStation 5 version and $51.00 for the Nintendo Switch 2 version. It has also been confirmed that the physical editions include a bonus code for the soundtrack, while the digital price remains undisclosed.
The current information therefore points to a fairly clear rollout: first the PC release on May 28, 2026, then the console announcement on October 14, 2026, and finally a planned release in Q1 2027. For now, the exact release date, the shipping date for the physical editions, and the digital price remain open questions. Any price comparison with the PC version is also speculative until Kniv Studio or Silver Lining shares concrete figures.
