According to Gematsu, development studios Chibig and Nukefist have announced that Mika and the Witch's Mountain will exit early access and launch on consoles on January 22. The game boasts a vibrant world where players can soar on a broomstick, explore a mini open world, collect items, and engage with a touching story brimming with charming characters. Early access updates have already enriched the experience with additions like a fishing mini-game, Churro and Kitten mini-games, pet companions, expanded language options, stylish cosmetics, and new achievements. All these features will be part of the full release, and players can anticipate the "Into the Mont Gaun" post-launch patch, which will introduce dungeon gameplay reminiscent of the Legend of Zelda series.
