Two bakery titles anchor the cluster. The Witch's Bakery, developed by French studio Sunny Lab and published by Silver Lining Interactive, is the most documented, with a confirmed August 20 release on PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game features hand-drawn art of Parisian districts and a soundtrack by Cécile Corbel. A physical edition with a digital cookbook is planned for PlayStation 5, Switch, and Switch 2.
Antique Bakery, the 12-episode 2008 adaptation of Fumi Yoshinaga's manga, is set for a 2027 Blu-ray release from AnimEigo. This was announced alongside four other licenses at Otakon 2026.
Two other works use bakery in their titles but are separate projects. Wooju Bakery, a Korea-Thailand co-production BL drama, streams on FOD starting July 8, 2026, with an 8-episode run. GRAVITY GAME ARISE's playtest event in Kayabacho on August 21, 2026 included no bakery titles, only Minna de Kuuki Yomi. World and Light Odyssey. The stories do not connect the different bakery properties to each other, and there is no indication they share a universe, staff, or publisher.

Sunny Lab and Silver Lining Interactive released The Witch's Bakery on October 14, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. The 2D adventure RPG stars Renee, a cheerful witch who runs a bakery in modern-day Paris and can see into people's hearts. Each day divides into three phases: serving customers at the bakery during the day, exploring Paris in the evening, and training magic or decorating the shop in a cozy atelier at night. Renee enters a magical space called the Heart Palace inside people who have closed off their hearts, guiding anthropomorphized emotions back to where they belong and gathering ingredients for bread that heals them. She runs the bakery with Orio, a shape-shifting cat-like companion. Cecile Corbel, who composed music for The Secret World of Arrietty, provides the opening theme. The Japanese price is 2,400 yen including tax, with a 10 percent discount sale running until October 29.
