After surpassing its Kickstarter goal in 2022, Mandragora, now known as Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree, is gearing up for its much-anticipated release. If you're considering pre-ordering, here's everything you need to know about Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree's release date and all the pre-order rewards available.
What Is Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree’s Release Date?
Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is slated for release on April 17, 2025, across multiple platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Originally planned for December 2023, the release was postponed, but Primal Game Studio has maintained open communication with its backers, even providing some with access to a closed beta. This transparency has helped maintain a positive community response, avoiding the usual flood of frustrated comments seen in many delayed Kickstarter projects.
In the game, players will combat the ominous "Entropy" in a desperate bid to save a world teetering on the brink of collapse. With its dark, atmospheric setting, the outcome remains uncertain, adding to the game's intense narrative.

Can You Pre-Order Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree on Console?
Currently, pre-ordering Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree on consoles is not available. The game is listed on the respective console storefronts, but pre-order options have not yet been enabled. It's possible that pre-orders will open closer to the April 17 release date. However, since the game's preview is PC-exclusive, any console pre-order bonuses are unlikely to include preview access.
Is Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Getting a Physical Release?
In the era of digital distribution, physical releases for PC games are rare. However, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree does have a physical version available for both console and PC, but it's exclusively for those who backed the project on Kickstarter at a price of $79. With the Kickstarter campaign now closed, this option is no longer available to new buyers. There's potential for a broader physical release in the future, but as of now, that opportunity has passed.
That sums up Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree's release date and all the pre-order rewards. For insights into the game's development, don't miss our interview with the developers of Mandragora.
