‘Mika and the Witch’s Mountain’ is preparing for its full launch, bringing its magical adventure to a wider audience. Set to release on January 22nd, the game will be available on various platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Chibig, this enchanting title has captivated players during its Early Access phase, which began on August 21st.

The upcoming full release promises to expand on the Early Access experience with a suite of new content.

Inspired by the beloved ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service,’ ‘Mika and the Witch’s Mountain’ takes players on a journey of fantasy and adventure. Set on a small, quaint island, the game emphasizes themes of effort, friendship, and community, inviting players to engage with a mini open world ripe for exploration and secrets. Gameplay centers around the unique experience of delivering packages with a magic broom, where the true challenge lies in safeguarding those packages while navigating to the mountain’s peak.
For those interested, there are special launch discounts to take advantage of: a 30% discount on Steam, a 25% discount in the Nintendo Europe region, and a 15% discount for PlayStation Plus users.
Back in 2023, the game received substantial support through a Kickstarter campaign, promising an engaging gameplay experience of around eight hours. Players who have participated in the Early Access phase have already seen two of the three planned content patches. The upcoming patch, ‘Into the Mont Gaun,’ is set to add new dungeons reminiscent of classic Zelda games, further enhancing the gameplay adventure.
This comprehensive content rollout has been shaped by player feedback during the Early Access period, showcasing the developers’ commitment to delivering a refined and enjoyable experience. As the release date approaches, anticipation builds for what is sure to be an enchanting journey with Mika and her trusty broom.
