With its recent console port, WitchSpring R has made more than $5 million in sales, making it a major win for the wholesome crafty RPG series that’s been trucking along in the background for almost a decade.
WitchSpring R first bought itself toSteamshelves last year, where it reached ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ user reviews thanks to its commitment to uncomplicated fun. But after its PlayStation and Nintendo Switch launch last month, developer Kiwiwalks announced that it had “surpassed 5 million USD in global sales.”
“This marks the shortest period and highest sales in the WitchSpring series' history,” the developer’s recentblog poststates. “The game has also received excellent reviews from international media, with scores of 82 onOpenCriticand 83 onMetaCritic.““We plan to release new costume DLC around October as a Steam update,” it continues. “We are also preparing for the release of the Xbox version. The game development is complete, but there are still some discussions needed with the platform to finalize the release, and we are working hard to resolve these issues.”
Next year marks WitchSpring’s 10th birthday, but it doesn’t sound like the slept-on series has any plans to slow down now that it’s reaching even greater heights.
