After 10 years, cozy RPG Witchbrook finally gets a release date – and PS5 fans will no longer be missing out at launch
Chucklefish has set 28 January 2027 as the release date for Witchbrook, its long-awaited magical school role-playing game. The date follows several delays, including a missed winter 2025 window and a move to 2026, so the firm’s first specific launch day gives fans a clearer target after more than a decade of waiting.
The game is due on PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2 and, newly confirmed, PS5, with all platforms launching together. The announced US digital price is $24.99; standard and collector’s physical editions will follow later to avoid affecting the release schedule. The game is set in the seaside town of Mossport and centres on life at Witchbrook College.
In short
- Witchbrook is due on 28 January 2027.
- PS5 joins the simultaneous launch platforms.
- US digital pricing is $24.99; physical editions come later.
Explained simply
Witchbrook is a role-playing game set in Mossport, a seaside town, where players attend Witchbrook College and experience life as a student of magic. Role-playing games let players guide a character through a story and activities in a fictional world.
The game is being made and published by Chucklefish, a British games company. It has been in development for many years, and its launch plans have shifted several times, making its progress a point of interest for people who have followed it.
Witchbrook is planned for PC and several games consoles, including PlayStation 5. Its release matters to players because it will be available across those platforms, while later physical editions offer another way to buy it.
