Witchbrook launches this winter for Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch, and PC
Available via Game Pass on day one.
Magic life simulation game Witchbrook will launch for Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam this winter, developer Chucklefish announced. It will also be available via Game Pass on day one.
“Witchbrook is the most exciting project I’ve ever worked on, and it’s been a long time coming, but I’m very eager to get the game in the hands of the players soon,” said Rodrigo Braz Monteiro in a press release. “I don’t think that the level of simulation and fidelity we’ve aimed for in this game is expected of any games short of AAA, and to see it realized in a pixel art indie game has been very satisfying to us. For now, we’re only sharing a small glimpse into a vast game, and I can’t wait for the community to see what’s coming over the next few months.”
Producer Rosie Ball added, “Embracing a four-day work week and a firm no-crunch policy has been a huge part of realizing our approach to game development—that the team feels valued, rested and supported. We know creativity flourishes in a healthy work environment, and we’re confident that the mindful and deliberate pace of Witchbrook delivers this experience to the players.”
Art director Steph Caskenette said, “Witchbrook is our love letter to thoughtful living, the quiet magic of slow moments, and the connections we share with each other and the world around us. Whether players are exploring solo or sharing in the adventure, we hope Witchbrook becomes a space to relax and make lasting memories.”
