Sorcery will soon be a fully revealed realm on PC and consoles... Developed by Chucklefish in collaboration with Robotality, Witchbrook puts players in the shoes of an apprentice enrolled at Witchbrook College, a magical academy set in the fictional seaside town of Mossport. Originally slated for a late 2026 release, the game has just been pushed back to 2026 on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series. The premise? Attend classes, master spells, and get involved in local life—all set within a charming pixel art universe animated by the changing 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.
Set to launch on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox, Witchbrook has yet to reveal an exact release date but is now aiming for a launch in 2026. With its polished art style and storytelling rooted in magical everyday life, it stands out as a promising title that could captivate players who enjoy calm and immersive gaming experiences.
If you like slow atmospheres, stories rooted in the everyday and worlds to be tamed over time, Witchbrook could be worth your attention. Stay tuned, then, to see how the game develops between now and its release.
