If you enjoy games like Hogwarts Legacy and Pokemon, and also like survival challenges, Witchspire might be for you. You play as a young witch trying to find her way back home, and that means surviving in a magical world full of dangerous creatures. You’ll gather resources, craft equipment, and team up with magical companions called Familiars to help you on your journey. Plus, Witchspire seems to have its own version of rare creature hunting, similar to finding ‘Shiny’ Pokemon!

Players will explore a beautiful, expansive open world on broomsticks in this game. You can discover diverse landscapes, from lush biomes to mysterious ancient ruins, either by yourself or with friends in co-op mode. To get a preview of the gameplay, check out the new trailer for Witchspire below.
