Get ready for a magical journey with the release of Mika and the Witch's Mountain, the enchanting cozy adventure game set to launch on Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on January 22, 2025. The game initially debuted in early access on August 21, 2024, and now, fans can look forward to exploring the full version, complete with exciting new features and post-launch content.

Drawing inspiration from the beloved Studio Ghibli film Kiki's Delivery Service, Mika and the Witch's Mountain casts players as the young witch Mika, who embarks on a heartwarming journey as a parcel courier in a quaint town nestled at the foot of a mystical mountain. The early access release quickly won over fans of cozy adventure games, and now, they can anticipate diving into Mika's enchanting world across various console platforms.

As reported by Gematsu, development studios Chibig and Nukefist have announced that Mika and the Witch's Mountain will exit early access and make its console debut on January 22. The visually vibrant game offers broomstick flying in a mini open world, the thrill of collecting items, and a touching narrative filled with endearing characters. Recent early access updates have added much-requested features like a fishing mini-game, Churro and Kitten mini-games, pet companions, expanded language options, fashionable cosmetics, and new achievements. All these elements will be part of the complete release on January 22, with the developers also promising a post-launch patch named "Into the Mont Gaun," which will introduce dungeon gameplay reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda series.

When does Mika and the Witch's Mountain Release on Console?
