The Witch's Bakery release dates
Every digital platform opened on October 14, 2026. The PS5, Switch, and Switch 2 boxes arrived on October 16. The date used to be August 20. Sunny Lab moved it in July.
The delay post is the one I re-read. On July 25, 2026 they left August 20 for October 14 and gave two reasons: the game needed more polish, and September was too crowded. A 4Gamer product line shows October 15. I treat that as a storefront timezone display, not a second launch, because Steam, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox all say October 14.
