Whimsical Chibi RPG WitchSpring R Casts a Spell on PS5 This August

Those itching for a dose of whimsical, old-school Atelier-esque RPG action may want to add WitchSpring R to their wishlist, a colourful, cosy outing from developer KIWI WALKS due out on 29th August. This game promises an eclectic mix of “training, collecting, and exploring” as you battle beasts in the overworld by day and enhance your witch’s capabilities back home at night. You’ll also be collecting ingredients, which you can combine and fuse to further upgrade your sorceress.

It all looks a little scruffy and low-budget compared to the biggest titles in the genre, but you can expect a good variety of activities and a pleasant, chibi art style here. A physical release and collector’s edition has been announced for Japan, but we’re still awaiting word from publisher PM Studios regarding its release plans in the West.
