Witchcraft will soon hold no secrets for you on PC and consoles... Developed by Chucklefish in collaboration with Robotality, Witchbrook casts players as an apprentice enrolled at Witchbrook College, a school of magic in the fictional coastal town of Mossport. Originally slated for release in late 2026, the game will now launch on January 28, 2027, for PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series. The concept? You attend classes, learn spells, and take part in local life in a pixel-art world shaped by the seasons and calendar events.
The heart of the gameplay lies in the balance between magical studies, human relationships and odd jobs: you'll be helping the shopkeepers, collecting resources in the nearby forest or manning a stall at the weekly market. If you like games with a gentle progression, oriented towards routine and discovery, Witchbrook seems to follow this direction.
Life at Mossport isn't limited to school. The game features dynamic social relationships, with a dozen characters, each with their own pace of life, personality and history. You'll be able to forge bonds of friendship or more, depending on the choices you make and the situations you encounter. Interaction with the inhabitants seems to play a central role in your progress. In terms of immersion, Witchbrook also offers the possibility of customizing your avatar: clothes, hairstyles, accessories... but also the layout of your cottage, which you can decorate to your taste by choosing from a wide range of objects.
The game will also feature a cooperative multiplayer mode, allowing up to four players to experience the adventure online. The community aspect is thus reinforced, with the possibility of exploring, taking part in events or gardening together, without imposing a competitive experience.
