Cozy game enthusiasts still wonder, when is the Witchbrook release date? It’s been five years of waiting for the magical life sim, but it seems we’re no closer to playing the game just yet. We’re very excited to try the pixely game filled with spells, magic, friends, and wizard prom. While information is pretty thin on the ground right now, here’s what we do know about the Witchbrook release date.

If you like whimsical and cute games, we recommend these games like Animal Crossing along with some farm games for you to try on Switch and mobile.

Witchbrook release date estimate

Currently, we don’t have a solid Witchbrook release date or even a vague release window. The FAQ section of the game’s official website states that Witchbrook is still “currently in development and so quite a while off yet”. This hasn’t been updated in quite a while, though. The Witchbrook Twitter also hasn’t had any new posts since mid-2023, either.

The developer wants to combat crunch and fiercely believes that happy developers make better games. We’re inclined to agree, so while Witchbrook may be taking a little while to get here, it means it will likely be well worth the wait when it’s finally in our hands. You can check out the Witchbrook website for a few extra details.

In a recent update, developers told us that the Witchbrook cauldron is ‘still bubbling’, and that the game is the “sole focus of the entire in-house development team”.

Will Witchbrook come out on Switch?

Witchbrook is available to wishlist on Steam now, and will likely release on that platform first. Though, judging by developer Chucklefish’s other games like Eastward and Wildfrost, it seems very likely that a Switch release wouldn’t be far behind.

We really wish we had more information, but that’s all we have on Witchbrook for now.
