by

The open-world adventure game Hela, rooted in Scandinavian folklore, has been renamed Hela: of Mice & Magic. Knights Peak Games, the publisher, and Windup Games, the developer, also released a new trailer showcasing the game’s beautiful environments and music inspired by Northern Sweden.

Here are the latest details:

The game is now titled Hela: of Mice & Magic, a name that truly captures its spirit. Hela has always been about the special connection between a kind witch and her loyal, little animal companions. Adding “of Mice & Magic” highlights the two key parts of the game: the amazing skills of the mice and the captivating magic found throughout the world. This isn’t just a new title; it’s a way to celebrate the game’s central ideas of friendship, exploration, and the beauty of nature. It welcomes players to a world where even the smallest creatures can do incredible things with bravery, cooperation, and a little magic.

Players journey through a stunning world with the aid of a magical frog backpack, discovering hidden secrets and working to restore balance while making new friends. In Hela: of Mice & Magic, the natural world isn’t just a pretty background – it feels alive, almost like a character itself, brought to life through immersive music and sound. This reflects the developers’ core values: a reverence for nature, a desire to live in harmony with the environment, and a reminder to appreciate the beauty around us by slowing down and taking it all in.

The natural world in Hela: of Mice & Magic is a place to explore, try new things, and simply have fun. Players can find joy in small discoveries, relax and escape their everyday concerns, and even make friends with the forest creatures. This environment is central to the game’s themes of balance, harmony, and the subtle magic of a world that encourages players to remember what’s important.

The music in Hela: of Mice & Magic is crucial to the storytelling, reacting to the game world without being intrusive. Each location has its own unique sound, with music and instruments that match the characters and creatures found there. Around towns and villages, the music is full and vibrant, but in the forest, it becomes more subtle, allowing for quiet moments and natural ambient sounds. This thoughtful approach makes the game more immersive, helping players feel truly connected to their surroundings.

Hela: Of Mice & Magic is a game focused on exploring the world, working together, and appreciating nature. Its beautiful music, created by the composers behind the Unravel games (Frida Johansson and Henrik Oja), encourages players to relax and remember what’s important.

I’m so excited about Hela: of Mice & Magic! You play as a little mouse, and it’s all about helping this really sweet, but cautious, witch look after the land she’s been protecting for ages. You can explore on your own or with friends, and the places you’ll visit are gorgeous – think forests, meadows, and even cozy little burrows. The witch gives you a magical backpack that lets you do all sorts of cool things – jump higher, reach further, and just generally interact with the world in fun and relaxing ways. It sounds amazing!

The game Hela: of Mice & Magic is scheduled to be released in 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
