While the academic year has yet to start at this prestigious magic school, the number of ways to apply have gone up! Chucklefish’s cozy witch sim, Witchbrook, was announced at the recent Nintendo Direct to be heading to the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 this winter.
Check out this introduction to Witchbrook College in the new trailer below:

You’ll be able to zoom across Mossport on the most iconic transportation witches have at their disposal: your trusty broom! The game is packed with content, including mini-games to pass the time.
