Witchfire launches in Early Access almost 7 years after reveal

Announced all the way back in 2017 during The Game Awards, Witchfire was a unique arena fighting FPS which was planned to launch in 2022. This did not come to pass, with the team at ‘The Astronauts’ revealing that they were redesigning the game’s core experience. Finally, years on from its planned release, Witchfire is finally out in Early Access.

Available to purchase right now on Steam for £30.15 (RRP £33.50), Witchfire is an “RPG shooter that uniquely blends soulslike, extraction, and roguelite genres with many new gameplay features.”

As mentioned, when it was first being developed, the game was intended to be an arena-style shooter before being reworked into featuring a semi-open world thanks to the removal of barriers during combat among other changes.

Witchfire showed a lot of promise when it was first announced all the way back in 2017, and so it is exciting to see the game finally out and available for all to play – especially as the early response on Steam has been “very positive”. Hopefully the announced roadmap only improves things further.
