Moonlight Peaks vs Witchbrook

Two magic-flavoured life sims — but a vampire farm versus a witch college, and very different release timing.

Witchbrook (Chucklefish) is in development with a 2026 window and no firm date yet. Moonlight Peaks launches July 7, 2026.

Which should you play?

Pick Witchbrook if you want pixel-art magic-school life with friends — it has up to four-player co-op and lands day one on Game Pass and Xbox, neither of which Moonlight Peaks offers.

Pick Moonlight Peaks if you want a 3D gothic vampire farm you can actually play soon: it has a firm July 7, 2026 date and a free demo out now, lets you marry, and centres on night-time farming rather than classes. Witchbrook still has no confirmed release date.
