Mika and the Witch's Mountain launches today!
Mika and the Witch’s Mountain fully launches today on all platforms and there’s more new free content on the way with the Content Patches for the Kiki’s Delivery Service meets Wind Waker charming game.
Wanna know more about the references behind Mika and the Witch’s Mountain development? Check this two posts: Bringing the summer vibes of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker to Mika and the Witch’s Mountain and From Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service to Mika and the Witch’s Mountain.
Today, Mika and the Witch’s Mountain leaves Early Access status and reaches all platforms: PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series, with limited release discounts in some of them.
The team have also continued expanding this adventure with free content patches (2 of them already available on Steam) and improving the experience thanks to the community’s feedback and support. This content added new quests, minigames, characters and cosmetics, but there’s more to come.
This content was not planned from the beginning of development, but came about thanks to the incredible support received in the Kickstarter campaign in 2023.
In addition to making possible the physical edition of Mika and the Witch’s Mountain for Nintendo Switch and other physical items, such as tarot cards or the figure of the protagonist, the stretch goals reached provided the support the team needed to include more content in the game:
- The fishing minigame
- The Feed the Kittens quest
- The Churro Express racing minigame
- Zelda-like dungeons
- More characters
- The pet companion
- The minimap
- New outfits for Mika and cosmetics for her broom
- Hundreds of ingame collectibles
- A song composed by Mark Sparling, composer of A Short Hike
Most of this content is already available for Steam, and will come very soon for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox with the third content patch.
The final content patch: Into the Mont Gaun, will be included in the following weeks. Three Zelda-like dungeons to go deep into the depths of the mountain, prove yourself and unveil the secrets of the elements.
We’ll be dedicating a new post to talk in depth about these mysterious dungeons, because it’s a content that has grown more than we expected (both in gameplay time and quality) and we are very proud of it as developers.
After 5 months in Early Access and very positive reviews, the game had sold over 60k copies. With all the new content added from that, this charming indiegame will offer +8 hours of gameplay, maybe more for the need-to-get-all ones.
For everyone to join and for a limited time, Chibig is hosting a launch discount in some of these platforms: 30% off on Steam, 15% off on Nintendo Switch (Europe region) and 15% off for PlayStation Plus users. The Xbox discount will come a few weeks later.
We can now confirm our intentions to launch the physical edition worldwide in 2025. The joy of our backers, who have been receiving their copies during these days, has inspired us to make a general release so that more fans of Mika’s adventures can have a physical copy in their collection.
Exclusive copies of the Kickstarter backers have been spotted in the last few weeks in social media. Here are some amazing examples:
