Witchfire News

The first patch for Witchfire High Stakes update is out. It's a small patch, focused on bugfixing. Working on one more fix, out tomorrow, hopefully. Then we sit down to work on your feedback, suggestions and QoL updates.

Witchfire Early Access is out now on Steam—grab it with 10% off and join the witch hunt!

The promo price is valid for two weeks from now. The game now features three big updates that we've made since the Early Access started: The Ghost Galleon, The Wailing Tower, and High Stakes. You can find more details about the game, as well as the roadmap and the FAQ on our website.

Witchfire Early Access releases on Steam at 6 PM CEST / 9 AM PDT, September 23. See the map for more details and launch hours in your region:

When Witchfire debuts on Steam, it will feature the latest update, codenamed High Stakes. Here are the highlights:

🔸 Island of the Damned's Witch Vault
🔸 Stamina and Calamities redesigned
🔸 Mysteria Forge
🔸 Visual Clarity Boost

More details about the update and these features can be found in the latest blog post on our page. We dive deeper into the (kind of obvious ːsmileiː) inspiration behind Striga, and we explain how the gameplay changes affect the core loops.

Also, we have updated the Early Access FAQ. Actually, we have written it from scratch. We start with the basics, like what is Witchfire, then answer the most common questions. Here you can find the answers to questions like platforms, content, co-op, language support and more.
