Chucklefish has postponed the release of its highly anticipated game Witchbrook to 2026, initially set for Winter 2025. This delay allows for additional development time to enhance the game's immersive world.
Development and Expansion
The game, likened to Stardew Valley with a magical twist, is set in a charming, pixel-art universe. While development has been progressing well, the Chucklefish team stated they require more time to ensure the atmosphere and game world meet their high standards.
- The new release target is 2026.
- Plans include expansion to more gaming platforms.
- Additional language support will be integrated.
Chucklefish's decision to delay aims to guarantee a polished final product that satisfies both visual and interactive elements.
Interactive Map Release
In the interim, Chucklefish released an interactive world map to give players a sneak peek of what's to come. The map features the vibrant town of Mossport, Witchbrook College, an offshore island, and a road bridge suggesting further locales for exploration. This map highlights the game's expansive world, providing context and anticipation for future players.
The studio's commitment to world-building in Witchbrook underlines their intention to deliver a product that captivates players and offers a compelling magical experience.
