During last night’s ID@Xbox Showcase, publisher Skybound Entertainment and developer Serenity Forge confirmed that Homestead Arcana will be released on April 21st, 2023 for PC (via Steam), while it’ll also be on Game Pass day one for Xbox Series S|X, and PC players via the Windows Store. If you don’t have Game Pass, it’ll retail on digital platforms for £16.99.

Homestead Arcana is a cosy farming simulator with a difference, as it throws Witches into the equation. Skybound has released a brand new gameplay walkthrough trailer, which you can check out below. The trailer features Huckleberry (“your trusty familiar”) who is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.

In Homestead Arcana, a menacing force known as the Miasma has taken over the land, with what remains of society banished to mountains above the clouds. A young witch farmer Billie embarks on a magical adventure with her cat familiar Huckleberry to rescue the land for future generations and heal the world. Players must pioneer, cultivate and craft spells to tap into nature to revitalize the corrupted realm and uncover the secrets of the Miasma.
