Spellcaster University, a wizard school management sim, gets Nintendo Switch release date and new trailer
Today, Red Art Games provided the release date for Spellcaster University. The title launches for Nintendo Switch on May 2, 2025.
Made by Sneaky Yak Studio, Spellcaster University was confirmed for Nintendo Switch launch back in 2023. It was originally planned for early 2024, but a delay occurred.
Here’s a recap going over what to expect:
In Spellcaster University, you take on the role of the headmaster of a wizard school set in a colorful heroic fantasy world. Build your school, manage your budget, recruit teachers. Will you turn your university into a black magic academy where the best professors of necromancy and demonology teach? Or will you create a place in complete harmony with nature whose goal is to train druids and shamans? The choice is up to you.
Be warned that all of this won’t be easy. You will need to survive the ruthless attacks of the orc tribes and work around the strict control of the education authorities.
Spellcaster University’s console versions will include all the content and updates added to the PC version until now. It has also been totally reworked to make it fully playable with a controller.
