Publisher and developer Chibig and co-developer Nukefist announced Mika and the Witch’s Mountain is delayed.
The cute 3D platforming/exploration game will forgo its previously planned 2022 release for one sometime in 2023. When the game does launch it’ll be available for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
An official deo is planned for the next round of Steam Next Fest demos, which is set for February 6th, 2023. Furthermore, the developers are planning a Kickstarter campaign for Mika and the Witch’s Mountain to “polish the last details” of the game and “meet the expectations of the gaming community.”
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:
Mika and the Witch’s Mountain
Meet Mika, an aspiring witch with a half-formed set of powers. In order to complete her training, she must help out the townspeople living at the bottom of the mountain, bringing them packages on her magic broom. It’s time to make some friends and take to the skies!
Help Mika earn her stripes, roaming around the island and earning upgrades with each successful delivery. Along the way you’ll get to know each of the quirky characters in town. But be warned – flying is a dangerous business, and packages are easily damaged in transit!
