Publisher Knights Peak and developer Windup Games have announced the official title for their previously revealed project, now called Hela: of Mice & Magic, scheduled to launch in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
The game centers on a bond between a witch and her small familiars, with players taking control of a mouse as it navigates a handcrafted environment inspired by Northern Sweden. There is also support for solo play or cooperative exploration.
Music and sound design are a major component of the presentation. The soundtrack, composed by Frida Johansson and Henrik Oja, adapts to each area. Different regions feature distinct themes, with audio shifting between more defined melodies near settlements and quieter, ambient soundscapes in natural areas.
A newly released deep dive highlights these elements, offering a closer look at the game’s environments, systems, and overall direction.
