Knights Peak and Windup Games recently revealed a new Deep Dive giving a detailed look at the animals and nature featured in Hela: of Mice & Magic.
In Hela: of Mice & Magic, animals are more than just inhabitants of the forest, but they are teachers and allies. Take the squirrel, for example: agile, swift, and a master of leaping through the treetops. By keeping pace with its challenge, players earn a special gift, which can be used in the witch’s hut to brew a potion, unlocking new abilities.
Forging Lifelong Friendships
Some creatures in Hela: of Mice & Magic can become lifelong companions. The hare, for instance, is initially shy but can be befriended through patience and trust. Once earned, its loyalty allows players to call upon it for swift travel through the forest, making journeys faster and more enjoyable than ever before.
A World Teeming with Life
Every corner of Hela: of Mice & Magic is alive with the beauty of nature. From tiny insects wandering across the forest floor to dragonflies gliding gracefully above the water and flocks of birds soaring through the sky, the world is rich with detail and wonder. Players are encouraged to take a moment to pause, observe, and immerse themselves in the vibrant life that surrounds them.
To accompany the latest deep dive, an ambient video has been released, providing players and fans of Hela: of Mice & Magic with a way to immerse themselves in the game’s calming auditory environment. This video allows individuals to unwind after a demanding day or simply enjoy the tranquil soundscapes of Scandinavian woodlands in the background.
Hela: of Mice & Magic is set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC in 2026.
