Chucklefish has announced that the anticipated magic life-sim Witchbrook will be launching January 28th, 2027.
The release date announcement of their fourth in-house title, with co-development support from Robotality, was accompanied by an all-new gameplay trailer, revealed during today’s Nintendo Indie World.
Also newly revealed is the addition of a PlayStation 5 port, joining the already announced console roster of Nintendo Switch and XBOX.
Witchbrook invites players to enrol as a witch-in-training at Witchbrook College, in the bustling seaside town of Mossport. Attend classes and complete assignments in Alchemy, Astrology, Tarot, Rituals, and more as you expand your magical knowledge, study hard to pass exams, and unlock spells on your path to graduation. Between lessons, forge friendships and find romance among a colourful cast of characters, start your own witch business helping the local community, or spend your time taking it easy! Join a club, attend seasonal events, go birdwatching, bug-catching, fishing and more! Renovate your cosy woodland cottage and garden, and customise your witch. Additionally, all of this and more can be experienced with up to 4 players in online multiplayer!
In the all-new trailer, players can sneak a peek at life as a Witchbrook student: attending classes, spellcasting, studying hard, sitting exams, and putting their new-found knowledge to work. There’s library browsing, salve and potion-making, tarot readings, and a first look at just some of Witchbrook’s magical creatures. Just a taste of the magic and mystery that awaits this January.
