Knights Peak and Windup Games has confirmed the release date for lovely looking adventure game Hela: of Mice & Magic, and it’s coming on December 1st.
The game was originally just called “Hela“, and we had a chance to play it back in August of 2025, but now it’s confirmed for PC and consoles on December 1st. The newly announced date is confirmed in the trailer that just got released, which also shows off the “Harmony Edition” of the game, as an option for physical versions of the game.
Hela: of Mice & Magic will be available on December 1st not only as a digital version, but also in physical format, exclusively as the Harmony Edition: a meticulously crafted collector’s version that invites players to immerse themselves even deeper into its enchanting world. It includes the game for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X accompanied by a digital download of its beautiful soundtrack, composed by Frida Johansson and Henrik Oja, capturing the heart and soul of the adventure. Additionally, it features a 48-page softcover art book, filled with never-before-seen concept art, sketches, and inspirational photos that offer a glimpse into the creative journey behind the game. The Harmony Edition is rounded out with an extra outerbox, a reversible poster showcasing the game’s intricate map and a set of exclusive stickers, perfect for fans to personalize their space and keep the magic of Hela: of Mice & Magic close at hand.
In Hela: of Mice & Magic, players take on the role of a small but agile mouse, helping a kind, wary witch care for the land she has protected for generations. Explore alone or together across various environments like forests, meadows, wetlands, and burrows. The witch provides the player with a backpack infused with magic, enabling them to explore further, reach higher, and interact with the world in new, and sometimes relaxing ways.
In our preview, we said: “Whilst Scandi folklore can often feel dark and foreboding, this is feel-good gaming in its purest form. Soft, friendly and kind, there’s a lightness and childlike innocence here that’s been missing from most games for far too long, a sense of mindfulness and a kindness of heart. Hela looks to be the game that’ll heal and restore something that I didn’t even know had been missing, play for the sake of play.”
Hela: of Mice & Magic is coming to PC, XBOX, PS5, and Switch 2 on December 1st.
