Witchbrook, the highly anticipated life-sim and social RPG from Chucklefish, has officially been delayed to 2026. Originally slated for a Winter 2025 release, the developers announced they’ve made the difficult decision to shift the release into next year, despite strong development progress.
“Witchbrook is a big project, and it’s taking shape exactly as we hoped; full of charm, depth, and detail,” the developer shared, emphasizing its commitment to quality and maintaining a healthy work environment. Chucklefish added that while this approach can extend timelines, it leads to “better games” crafted by “developers who are healthy and well-rested.”
Set in the seaside city of Mossport, Witchbrook invites players to enroll at the magical Witchbrook College. As an aspiring witch, you’ll uncover a rich world where the familiar and fantastical entwine. Players can expect to build lasting friendships, explore mystical environments, discover forgotten secrets, and even find love, all while learning to harness magic.
It’s always tough to hear about delays, especially for a game that so many are excited about. Hopefully, the extra time will allow the developers to create an even better experience. Looking forward to seeing what Witchbrook has in store when it finally arrives!
I completely understand the disappointment; delays can be frustrating. On the bright side, this extra time might allow the developers to refine the game even further, making it an even more immersive experience when it finally releases!
I agree, delays can be tough, but they often lead to a more polished game in the end. It’s great that Chucklefish is taking the time to ensure Witchbrook meets fans’ expectations. Plus, the extra time could mean even more exciting features or content!
