The enchanting, cozy adventure game, Mika and the Witch's Mountain, is set to launch on Nintendo Switch, Steam (PC), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on January 22, 2025. Initially released in early access on August 21, 2024, the full game will soon be available, boasting exciting new features and post-launch content.
Drawing inspiration from Studio Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service, players embody young witch Mika, working as a parcel courier in a charming town nestled at the foot of a magical mountain. The early access version quickly captivated fans of cozy adventures, and now console players can experience Mika's heartwarming journey.
As reported by Gematsu, developers Chibig and Nukefist confirmed the January 22nd console launch. This vibrant game features broomstick flight across a mini open world, collectible items, and a captivating story filled with endearing characters. Recent early access updates included highly-anticipated additions: a fishing mini-game, Churro and Kitten mini-games, pet companions, expanded language support, cosmetic items, and new achievements. All this, and more, will be part of the full January 22nd release. Furthermore, a post-launch patch, "Into the Mont Gaun," promises dungeon gameplay reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda series.
Console Release Date:
Chibig and Nukefist have declared "Into the Mont Gaun" as the final content update, bringing the game to its envisioned "completed state" – a goal set during its 2023 Kickstarter campaign. Already praised during its early access period with "Very Positive" Steam reviews, Mika and the Witch's Mountain is a must-play for fans of titles like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The appeal of cozy games continues to grow, and Mika and the Witch's Mountain provides a relaxing, magical experience, a welcome contrast to more action-oriented games such as Hogwarts Legacy. Get ready to enjoy Mika's adventure across Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
