Re;AER and Acacia have announced that visual novel Magical Girl Witch Trials is coming to Nintendo Switch on July 9 physically and digitally in Japan. An English release of Magical Girl Witch Trials on Nintendo Switch was not announced.
Magical Girl Witch Trials launched on July 18, 2025 for PC via Steam in Japan. Lastly, here’s an overview of the visual novel from the game’s Steam page, translated by Final Weapon staff writer and lead translator Ryuji:
On her first year of high school, Emma wakes up inside a dimly lit cage. Without any memory of how it happened, she finds herself locked away in a prison‑manor that exists on a remote island far out at sea.
Confused, Emma hears a lone owl speak to her: “You are accused of being a witch, a being that could cause harm in this world. As such, you will live here forever as a prisoner.”
And Emma is not alone. Other girls are also imprisoned. At one point, an owl gathers the imprisoned girls together and declares the start of a cruel game in which, from among the imprisoned girls, one by one they are selected to become a witch, or in other words, a person that will soon be executed…
