Witch It News

The Winterdream Festival is over. Thanks to everyone who participated!

-Added: Korean localization.
-Added: There is now a launch option without the startup movies. You can try this option if the game crashes at startup.

-Fixed: Removed several ways of getting out of map.
-Fixed: Removed some op spots on Snowbreeze.

We are aware that some users used Bots to farm resources. To fight this, we added the report reason: Usage of Bots. Please report users which use bots. We will check the reports and replays. When we identify Bot users, all their Winterdream items get removed and they will be removed from official servers for the time of the Winterdream event. Even if we find out after the event, the items will still be removed.


-Fixed: Potentially fixed a startup crash for some players. If your game still crashes at startup, please let us know via mail to [email protected]

-Changed: The drop rate of Candy Cane in the cauldron got increased from 20% to 30% during the event

The Winterdream Festival has begun! It will be active from December 12 to January 7. Happy Holidays!



Updated to Unreal 4.21.1 which fixes some minor issues.

-Added: 35+ new Winterdream skin items.
-Added: Snowbreeze is now available for ‘Fill a Pot’ in custom games and on official servers.
-Added: Fiskersted is now available for ‘Fill a Pot’ in custom games.
-Added: A few new props.
-Added an option to disable jump scares, which replaces the Luaq with another effect.

-Changed: ‘Fiskersted’ and ‘Snowbreeze’ are now decorated to celebrate the Winterdream Festival.
-Changed: Decreased the visibility of the ‘Possess’ skill trail to make it harder for the Hunters to see it.
-Changed: We did some improvements concerning the prop layouts used in ‘Fill a Pot’.
-Changed: The chat is now scrollable.
-Changed: ‘Decoy’ will now only create decoys of common Props.
-Changed: We removed the achievements from the Winterdream Festival 2017. The related items are now craftable. Detailed explanation: The old achievements got implemented before the crafting system existed. In theory the ‘present hunt’ were funny , but it didn’t work out in practice. It interfered too much with the actual gameplay and caused frustration. That’s why we decided to remove the achievements instead of doing the same ‘present hunt’ this year. Everyone who got the achievements will of course keep their related items.


-Fixed: Some Market Stand props had the wrong color after a Witch transformed into them.
-Fixed: The new facial animations looked broken on ‘The Shifty Observer’ and ‘The Scheming Observer’ skin items.
-Fixed: Props flipping to old sleep position for some frames.
-Fixed: Attempt to fix disconnects at the end of ‘Fill a Pot’ rounds.
-Fixed: The game only chooses from the languages visible under game options on startup.
-Fixed: Glitching under the map while transforming into a prop with a falling witch.
-Fixed: Result stats haven’t considered scalings of props.

We updated the Unreal Engine to version 4.21 This should fix some bugs. Let us know if you find any new ones.

We added the option to craft a Gloomkin from 30 Candies.
Because of this change, the Halloween Event will be extended until December 3.

-Added: Face animations for taunts (Hunters and Witches)



-Added: Spanish localization
-Added: 50+ custom recipes. This includes recipes for the Abyssal Witch set, Captain Hunter set, Reaper Witch set, Magical Painter Witch set, which makes these sets fully craftable through custom recipes.

-Changed loading screen
