Updated November 4, 2026. The doors to Witchbrook College now have an opening date: January 28, 2027. Publisher Chucklefish confirmed the date after the game had previously been expected in 2026. The announcement also adds PlayStation 5 to the day-one lineup.
Witchbrook release date and platforms
Witchbrook is scheduled for January 28, 2027 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. This is a publisher-announced launch date, not a 2026 release window. A physical edition is planned for later, with no date announced.
Can you play Witchbrook with friends?
Yes. Chucklefish lists both single-player and online co-op for up to four players. The publisher has not confirmed cross-platform co-op, so do not assume that a Switch player can join a friend on PS5 or PC until a specific cross-play announcement arrives.
What kind of game is it?
Witchbrook is a witch-school life sim and social RPG set around Mossport and Witchbrook College. Its announced activities include classes in magical subjects, learning spells, potion-making, relationships, running a witch business and renovating a cottage. The latest trailer teases the college’s ghostly Chancellor and more of the student stories. The appeal is in balancing a school routine with a living town and, if you choose, sharing the journey with friends.
