Witchbrook, the upcoming cozy life sim about going to witch college—think Stardew Valley meets Harry Potter except you're a witch instead of a wizard, and no, I'm not clear on the distinction—has been delayed. After setting a release window of winter 2025 earlier this year, developer Chucklefish now says it needs more time to get things done, and that means a launch sometime in 2026.
“Despite great development progress this year, we’ve made the difficult decision to shift the release into next year,” Chucklefish wrote in a development update. “Witchbrook is a big project—and it’s taking shape exactly as we hoped; full of charm, depth and detail! In our first blog, we shared our goal to create a living, breathing world for you to explore, and as we bring all those elements together, we’re taking the time needed to ensure the world feels rich, immersive, and alive.”
