In a land where the great magic has fallen out of tune, the smallest helpers hold the power to heal it. Knights Peak and developer Windup Games have today shared a story-focused deep dive for Hela: of Mice & Magic — and confirmed that the entire adventure can be experienced together, with full cross-play for up to four players across all platforms when it launches 1 December 2026.
THE WITCH, THE MICE, AND A WORLD OUT OF SONG
For centuries, a kind-hearted witch has watched over the land of Hela — nurturing its forests, tending its creatures, keeping the ancient melody in balance. But now the harmony is broken. The witch grows frail and cannot journey alone. So she turns to her tiniest, truest familiars: you, her mice.
Your mission is simple but profound: restore the land not by repeating the old tune, but by helping it find a new one. Guided by letters that still find their way to the cottage, you’ll travel across meadows, woodlands, wetlands, and burrows — meeting the people and creatures of Hela, lending a paw, and weaving kindness into the world itself.
The Ritual Keeper guards secrets of the distant past. Every forest friend has a story to share. And back at the cottage, the witch will tell you tales of her own — turning even the smallest discovery into part of something far greater.
There are no swords here. No monsters to slay. Only kindness, curiosity, and connection — and that is more than enough.
CROSS-PLAY — NO MOUSE WALKS ALONE
The journey is richer when shared. Knights Peak has confirmed that cross-platform play is built in from day one:
- Up to four players online across all platforms
- Two-player local split-screen also supported
- Mixed local-and-online play possible
- The full story — every puzzle, every quest, every heartfelt moment — is playable together
- The Shade System ensures puzzles remain balanced and functional no matter how many friends join you
Whether you’re on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC — your party is never separated. The mice can always find each other.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF ADVENTURE
Hela: of Mice & Magic rejects combat entirely. Instead, it leans into exploration, cooperation, and environmental problem-solving built in Unreal Engine 5. Your magical backpack lets you carry, climb, glide, and interact with the world in gentle, meaningful ways. Puzzles reward teamwork — and multiplayer opens creative solutions no single player could find alone.
FINAL THOUGHTS
In a gaming landscape often dominated by conflict and conquest, Hela: of Mice & Magic offers something rare: an adventure about caring. About how small acts can mend what’s broken. About how the tiniest among us can make the biggest difference. And with cross-play across every platform, you never have to do it alone.
The story deepens on 1 December. Add it to your wishlist now — and prepare to lend a paw.
The world is waiting. The mice are ready.
