The game initially charmed audiences during its early access launch on August 21, 2024, and now, fans can look forward to diving into the complete version, brimming with delightful new features and exciting post-launch content.
Drawing inspiration from the beloved Studio Ghibli film *Kiki's Delivery Service*, *Mika and the Witch's Mountain* invites players to step into the shoes of the young witch Mika.

As reported by Gematsu, the game's developers, Chibig and Nukefist, have confirmed that *Mika and the Witch's Mountain* will transition from early access to a full console release on January 22. The game is a vibrant tapestry of broomstick flying across a mini open world, collecting treasures, and engaging with a touching narrative filled with endearing characters. Recent updates during the early access period have brought fan-favorite features like a fishing mini-game, Churro and Kitten mini-games, the companionship of pets, expanded language support, fashionable cosmetics, and new achievements. All these elements will be part of the comprehensive release on January 22, and the developers have teased a post-launch patch called "Into the Mont Gaun," which will introduce dungeon gameplay reminiscent of the *Legend of Zelda* series.
