After smashing its Kickstarter goal back in 2022, *Mandragora*, now rebranded as *Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree*, is on the cusp of its much-anticipated release. If you're considering pre-ordering, here's a comprehensive look at *Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree*'s release date and all the enticing pre-order rewards you can expect.
What Is Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree's Release Date?
Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is slated to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on April 17, 2025. Initially planned for a December 2023 release, the delay has been met with understanding from backers, thanks to the transparent communication from developer Primal Game Studio. Some backers even had the opportunity to participate in a closed beta, which helped maintain a positive community sentiment.
In the game, you'll take on the challenge of battling the "Entropy" to save a world on the brink of collapse. The game's dark and foreboding atmosphere adds to the suspense—will you be able to save the world?

Can You Pre-Order Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree on Console?
Currently, Mandragora cannot be pre-ordered on console platforms. Although it's listed on the respective console storefronts, there is no pre-order option available. It's possible that a pre-order feature will be added before the game's April 17 release date. However, since the game's preview is exclusively for PC, any console pre-order bonuses might not include preview access.
Is Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Getting a Physical Release?
In today's digital age, physical releases for PC games are rare, with the vast majority being digital-only. However, Mandragora does offer a physical version for both console and PC, but with a catch—it was only available to those who backed the Kickstarter campaign at a price of $79. With the Kickstarter campaign now closed, this option is no longer available. There's a possibility that Primal Game Studio might release a broader physical edition in the future, but for now, that opportunity has passed.
And that wraps up the release date and all pre-order rewards for Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree. If you're curious about the game's development journey, don't miss our exclusive interview with Mandragora's developers.
