Witchfire finally has a release date

One of the nice surprise announcements made during the Summer Game Fest presentation was a new trailer for fire witchthe FPS Warlock from The Astronauts.

This is a studio made up of former developers of Painkiller, Bulletstorm, and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Witchfire has actually been kind of a Summer Game Fest mainstay, but today’s trailer is one we’ve been waiting for, because it actually has a release date.

Witchfire goes into early access on the Epic Games Store on September 20, and you can even wish list now. Today’s trailer is pretty short by Witchfire standards, but it gets the job done.

Over the past few months, The Astronauts has been revealing more and more about the game. Witchfire is a rogue-like shooter where you are sent on a hunt for a powerful witch. You will visit exquisite locations that fuse fantasy with functionality and amass an arsenal inspired by arcane magic and conventional firearms. The game is a mix of Destiny and the studio’s previous work on classic shooters.

The game’s March gameplay trailer was the most detailed yet, and it’s a good starting point if you think it looks intriguing.

Witchfire was recently confirmed to support DLSS 3, if you’re lucky enough to have an Nvidia RTX 40 series graphics card. Hopefully we’ll see a lot more of the game now that it has a solid release date.
