Another day, another delay causing turmoil amongst the Witchbrook community. Chucklefish’s long-awaited witchy life-sim was set to release by the end of 2025 and developers announced today that players will have to wait until next year to visit Mossport.
Developers released the news in an update on the Witchbrook website that also featured a good faith reveal: Witchbrook‘s world map of Mossport. The dev blog notes the delay until 2026 happened “despite great development progress this year.”
Chucklefish also said in the blog the delay is giving the development team the time to release Witchbrook on additional platforms and provide additional language support.
The dev blog update is the third since June, which gave us our first look at the world’s simulation and met the first romanceable NPC Hana. We also got a deeper dive into Witchbrook College and the magic of Mossport in August (and the eligible bachelor Eli).
“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,” the dev team said in the blog post revealing the delay.
Developers also dropped a fully interactive map of Mossport, featuring location markers for players to look at specific areas around the map including Witchbrook College, Shadhollow Forest, Parasol Sands beach and more.
Whether it’s hiking through the peaceful green trails of Shadhollow Forest with its concealed paths and ancient secrets, or breathing in the salty sea breeze on the golden beaches of Parasol Sands, Mossport is full of natural beauty and diverse locations.
Often home to festivals and markets, Mossport’s high street is the lively heart of the city, with shops to browse, delicacies to sample, and friendly faces to meet. Whilst the Student Village buzzes with energy beneath the grand facade of Witchbrook College, housing a lively community of young witches.
When you need a step back, Shadbrook Cottage and its verdant garden offer a quiet retreat to transform how you see fit. Just down the lane you’ll find peaceful farmlands, and even a secluded spot to fish along the winding river. Each area connects naturally to the next, creating a world that feels lived-in, warm, and ready for you to explore.
