After smashing its Kickstarter goal back in 2022, *Mandragora*, now rebranded as *Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree*, is on the cusp of release. If you're considering pre-ordering, here's a detailed guide on *Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree*'s release date and all the enticing pre-order rewards awaiting you.
What Is Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree's Release Date?
*Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree* is slated for release on April 17, 2025, across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Originally slated for a December 2023 launch, the delay has been met with understanding from the game's backers, thanks to consistent updates from developer Primal Game Studio and the opportunity for some to experience a closed beta. Unlike many troubled Kickstarter campaigns, *Mandragora*'s community remains supportive and engaged.
In the game, you'll engage in a battle against the "Entropy" to save a world teetering on the brink. The game's dark, atmospheric setting adds a thrilling uncertainty to your quest: Can you truly save this dying world?

Can You Pre-Order Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree on Console?
Currently, *Mandragora* cannot be pre-ordered on consoles. It's listed on the respective console storefronts, but the pre-order option is not available yet. There's a possibility that a pre-order option will become available before the April 17 release date. However, since the game's previews are PC-exclusive, console pre-orders are unlikely to 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 nearly all releases being digital-only. However, *Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree* does have a physical version available for both console and, surprisingly, PC. The catch? It's only available to those who pledged through the Kickstarter campaign at a price of $79. Since the Kickstarter campaign has concluded, this option is no longer open to new buyers. There's hope that Primal Game Studio might offer a broader physical release in the future, but for now, this opportunity has passed.
