Does the game’s name ring any bells? Well, Witchfire is The Astronauts’ one of the beloved projects that is soon going to be released. Despite being in development for more than 5-6 years, the game didn’t see the light of day, and players had already lost hope, until recently when its gameplay was featured in The Future Games Show Spring Showcase 2023. Now, discussions have sparked among fans regarding the availability of the game on various platforms, including Steam, which is currently the #1 digital game distribution platform for PC. Well, if you are looking for more information on the same, this article has got your back. All you need to do is sit back, and relax while reading everything we have to share.
Witchfire is a roguelite title that will feature high-paced action. Players will get to enjoy the game from the first-person perspective, where the use of spells along with powerful guns is quite common. Wondering what your ultimate objective is going to be? Well, you are a witch hunter, who is tasked to find and hunt the witch of the Black Sea and get hold of an item that can prove to be the key to victory in this war against the Witches. As per the recent gameplay trailer, we came to know that players will have access to 2 types of spells in the game- Light & Heavy.
While light spells can be used in short intervals, Heavy spells cannot be used too frequently. The spells in the game are based on the 4 core elements which are Earth, Fire, Water, & Air. Speaking of using spells to decimate enemies, it usually reminds us of The Witcher series. That being said, you might think that Witchfire devs will also follow the steps of the popular video game series by CD Projekt Red, and release their game on multiple platforms. However, the reality is a bit different.
Witchfire Steam Release Date: When is it coming out
Currently, Witchfire is set to release via Early Access on the Epic Games Store in 2023. This shouldn’t come as a surprise considering that the partnership between The Astronauts and Epic Games goes way back. As for the release date of the game on other platforms, no confirmation has been made yet. Well, there is a ray of hope, as the devs did mention that they will release the game on other platforms.
Although we don’t know yet which other platforms the game is going to be released on, it is quite obvious this is not going to happen soon. Steam users might get their hands on this title after 6 months to a year of its release on Epic Games, as this is usually the pattern followed by Epic Games for their exclusivity deals.
So, right now, we cannot say for sure when Witchfire will be released on Steam, but what we can be sure of is that the title is going to be a fresh take on the genre, and it will eventually be ported to other platforms.
Well, that is all the information we have right now regarding the release date of Witchfire on Steam. For more such interesting reads, make sure you visit Digistatement daily.
