Chucklefish's Magical School Game Now Called Witchbrook
Chucklefish, publishers of the immensely popular Stardew Valley, have revealed that their newest project formerly known as Spellbound is now named Witchbrook.
Chucklefish's CEO posted the news on Twitter today along with the new logo. The magical school life RPG demands players balance social lives and interactions with learning magic through classes and studies. Think Harry Potter meets Persona, with more practicality than either.

Our Take
While Spellbound was probably a better name, it was also likely way harder to trademark and protect that trademark. Witchbrook will sound natural before too long.
