Hela: of Mice & Magic | Coming Q4 2026
Knights Peak and Windup Games are excited to announce that Hela: of Mice & Magic will launch in Q4 2026. The upcoming co-op adventure has also surpassed 1 million wishlists, marking a major milestone on its journey to release and proving that even the smallest heroes can leave a big impression.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the support Hela: of Mice & Magic has received from players around the world,” said Alexander Benitez, Studio Head at Windup Games. “Reaching this point in the journey is both exciting and humbling for our team. As we enter the final stages of development, the enthusiasm and encouragement from our community continue to inspire us every day. We can’t wait to welcome players into Hela’s world this year.”
That support has also been echoed by creators around the world: thanks to their outstanding contributions, videos for Hela: of Mice & Magic have been viewed more than 140 million times organically across various social media platforms.
At its core, Hela: of Mice & Magic is about playing together. Designed for up to 4-player co-op, every obstacle players overcome and every victory earned becomes a shared experience, bringing friends and family together. Whether exploring alone or alongside others, players take on the role of a small but agile mouse, helping a kind and wary witch care for the land she has protected for generations. Journey through forests, meadows, wetlands, and burrows, using a magical backpack gifted by the witch to explore further, reach higher, and interact with the world in new and sometimes delightfully relaxing ways.
“Surpassing one million wishlists is a fantastic milestone for Hela: of Mice & Magic and a reflection of the passion, creativity and dedication that the teams at Windup Games and Knights Peak have poured into the project,” said Eugenio Vitale, VP of Publishing at Knights Peak. “We’re proud to work together with such talented people and excited to see so many players already eager to begin their adventure.”
Hela: of Mice & Magic is set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC in Q4 2026.
