Witchspire Offers 15% Discount Through July 24, Outlines Roadmap

Witchspire, which entered Early Access roughly a month before this announcement, is running a 15% discount from July 17th through July 24th. Developer Envar used the occasion to recap progress since launch — hotfixes, community feedback, and a summer pause — before turning attention to what comes next.

What's planned

Two named updates appear on the Early Access roadmap:

A Touch of Magic

  • Weapon Crafting 2.0
  • Salvaging
  • Emotes & Familiar Wheel
  • New Building Set
  • New Familiars

The Frozen Tundra

  • Alchemy 2.0
  • Compendium & Bestiary
  • New Biome & Act III
  • New Weapon Type
  • New Familiars
  • New Endgame Content

No release windows are given for either update, and the announcement does not specify what changed in the hotfixes already rolled out.

For players on the fence, the discount window is narrow — seven days — and the roadmap suggests the build available now is a foundation rather than a finished product.

Witchspire Runs 15% Off Through July 24, Outlines Two Major Updates

Just over a month after entering Early Access, Witchspire is running a limited discount — 15% off from July 17th through July 24th — while the team takes a brief summer break before resuming development.

Author Connor, writing on behalf of developer Envar, notes the team has spent the post-launch period reading player feedback, monitoring gameplay, and shipping hotfixes.

What's planned

Two named updates are currently on the Early Access roadmap:

✨ A Touch of Magic

  • Weapon Crafting 2.0
  • Salvaging
  • Emotes & Familiar Wheel
  • New Building Set
  • New Familiars

❄️ The Frozen Tundra

  • Alchemy 2.0
  • Compendium & Bestiary
  • New Biome & Act III
  • New Weapon Type
  • New Familiars
  • New Endgame Content

The source does not specify release windows for either update, only that both are "currently planned."

For players who have held off, the discount window is narrow — it closes July 24th — and the roadmap suggests the game's systems and content will expand meaningfully before leaving Early Access.
