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, after announcing the title in June 2026.
Silver Lining Interactive's involvement with The Witch's Bakery has followed the game from announcement to release. In June 2026 the publisher announced an August 20 launch for the Sunny Lab-developed title, with versions planned for Steam, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The announcement named a 2,400 yen price, described the game's day, evening, and night structure, and credited composer Cecile Corbel. It also noted that a physical edition with a digital cookbook would come later for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2.
By October 2026 the date had moved and the release confirmed it. The Witch's Bakery launched on October 14, 2026, the same day the publisher announced, on the same set of platforms. The game is a 2D adventure RPG in which the witch runs a bakery in modern-day Paris and enters a Heart Palace to guide anthropomorphized emotions. The most recent story calls the hero Renee rather than Rune, names the companion Orio, and adds the opening theme from Cecile Corbel. The Japanese price remains 2,400 yen including tax, with a 10 percent discount sale running until October 29.
The two stories differ on the protagonist's name and on the release date, and neither explains the change. Sunny Lab's Kickstarter campaign in 2024, which raised roughly 310,000 euros, and pre-release Steam wishlist figures of over 150,000 were cited at the announcement stage; the release coverage does not repeat them. The physical edition with the digital cookbook remains described as planned.

Oct 14
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.

Silver Lining Interactive announced on June 25 that The Witch's Bakery, developed by French indie studio Sunny Lab, will launch on August 20. The game will be available on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for 2,400 yen. Players control a young witch named Rune who runs a bakery in modern-day Paris. The day is spent baking and selling bread, the evening exploring the city and interacting with characters, and the night upgrading magic and decorating the shop. Rune can enter the "Heart Palace" of emotionally closed-off people-a magical space where feelings take physical form-and guide those feelings to heal them. The game features hand-drawn art of Parisian districts like Montmartre and Grands Boulevards. Music is composed by Cécile Corbel, known for her work on Studio Ghibli's The Secret World of Arrietty. A physical edition with a digital cookbook (supervised by a professional pastry chef) will come later for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2. The game raised approximately 310,000 euros on Kickstarter in 2024.
