The studio known for some of Overwatch’s most memorable character skins and assets is branching out with its first original title. Envar Entertainment, through its Envar Games division, has introduced Witchspire, a co-op survival adventure game that marks a significant move for a team previously known for its work on major projects like Riot Games’ Legends of Runeterra and Blizzard’s hero shooter. The reveal during Gamescom 2025 showcases a game that aims to combine familiar survival mechanics with a unique, mystical feel.
Witchspire immerses players as novice witches in a hostile fantasy realm. The experience centers around exploration, combat, and resource management, with a strong focus on a captivating creature-collection system. Players can tame and summon dozens of magical familiars to help them on their journey. This feature sets it apart from other titles in the crowded survival genre. The game supports both solo play and co-op teams of up to four, creating a social experience where players can build bases and strategize together to face threats.
Envar’s vision for Witchspire is a highly customizable sandbox. Beyond creature collection, the game will offer a range of options for players to personalize their spellcasters with different coven affiliations, crafted gear, and a cosmic tech tree. This dual progression system combines gear-driven and level-based growth, suggesting a rich and rewarding path for players to develop their skills. The team’s decision to launch the game as a “AA project” on Steam Early Access in 2026 shows a desire to involve the community in shaping its final form, a trend that has become more common as studios look to build a dedicated player base.
While the initial reveal confirmed a PC launch via Steam, the studio has not announced plans for other platforms yet. As the gaming landscape shifts with an emphasis on cross-platform access, this remains an important detail for console players. However, the early look at Witchspire gives an exciting preview of a new world filled with magical adventure, positioning Envar Games as a name to watch beyond its established support role. The studio is betting on its creativity to craft a world players will want to explore.
