Chucklefish announced that Witchbrook, the life sim about attending a school to learn magic, is delayed and won’t launch in 2025. Its new release window is 2026. The developer also noted that it is investigating additional platforms aside from the already announced Switch and PC versions. It also shared the game’s map online.
Witchbrook has been in development at Chucklefish since March 2018. Following that initial reveal, the developer took it slow and sparingly released screenshots and updates in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the product page debuted on Steam. It also noted in 2023 that the pacing was due to them shooting for no crunch. March 2025 is when the Winter 2025 release window finally came up, with a major trailer appearing during a Nintendo Direct. When discussing this delay, the developer noted a desire to ensure overall quality, more possible platforms, and maybe additional localizations. It also noted there will be updates on avatars and the world before 2025 ends.
As for the Witchbrook Mossport map, that is on a dedicated site. Chucklefish confirmed that any area that is in color and not sepia-toned is a place we will be able to visit. It is possible to zoom in and out. There are also a few point of interest icons that include details and screenshots about specific places and attractions, such as Arcane Arts, Lecture Theatre, North Hallway, Shadhollow Forest, Tea-Making Class, and Witchbrook College.
Witchbrook is in development for the Switch and PC, and its release date is delayed out of 2025 into 2026.
