A new magical journey is coming, and it’s already casting a powerful spell on players worldwide. During the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2025 showcase, Stockholm-based Envar Games revealed the first-ever gameplay for its enchanting open-world adventure Witchspire, giving fans their most detailed look yet at the studio’s ambitious debut title. With playtest signups now live on Steam and access planned for early 2026, excitement around this mystical world just keeps growing.
A Handcrafted Magical World Full of Possibilities
Witchspire invites players to explore a richly detailed, handcrafted open world—either solo or in co-op multiplayer. Every journey across its diverse landscapes teems with secrets, challenges, and magical energy. Players will unleash powerful spells that interact dynamically with the environment, from summoning forests to calling down comets in order to gather resources, fight corruption, or take on ancient beings that haunt the land.
Exploration is equally spellbinding. Witches can travel on foot using magical movement abilities like spirit jumps and blinks, or soar freely on broomsticks across vast biomes. Along the way, they’ll encounter wild creatures that can be befriended, nurtured, and brought home as helpful familiars within the sanctuary they build themselves.
Build, Create, and Customize Your Magical Sanctuary
One of Witchspire’s most charming features is its deep base-building system powered by Astral Projection. Players can float through their structures as they create them, placing windows, shaping rooms, and designing the witch’s perfect home—without the hassle of awkward ramps or misplaced platforms.
Character identity plays an equally important role. At the beginning of the adventure, players choose their Coven, gaining unique starting outfits and passive boosts. Throughout the game, they can craft and collect additional clothing for both stat enhancements and aesthetic expression. With the Luminaries tech tree and expansive customization system, players can truly build the witch they want to become.
