What Is Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree's Release Date?
*Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree* is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on April 17, 2025.

Can You Pre-Order Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree on Console?
Currently, you cannot pre-order *Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree* on consoles. Although the game is listed on the respective console storefronts, the pre-order option is not yet available. It's possible that a pre-order option will become available closer to the April 17 release date. However, since the game's preview is exclusively for PC, console pre-order bonuses might not include preview access.
Is Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree Getting a Physical Release?
In today's digital age, PC games rarely see physical releases, with most being available only through digital platforms like Steam, the Epic Games Store, or GOG. However, there's a twist for *Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree*—a physical version is available for both console and, surprisingly, PC. The catch? It's only accessible to those who backed the Kickstarter campaign at $79. Since the Kickstarter campaign has ended, you can't order one now. There's hope that Primal Game Studio might offer a broader physical release in the future, but for now, this option is off the table.
That sums up *Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree*'s release date and pre-order rewards. If you're curious about how the game was developed, don't miss our insightful interview with the creators at Primal Game Studio.
