See the world through the eyes of a brave mouse in Hela, an enchanting 3D co-op adventure game. Explore breathtaking Scandinavian-inspired landscapes, solve puzzles, and be a force for good in a land where heartwarming storytelling and the beauty of nature intertwine.

When a kind witch falls ill, her familiars embark on a journey to save her life. Playing as a tiny, intrepid mouse, you must venture out, gather ingredients, and brew magical potions to restore her strength.

In Hela: of Mice & Magic, nature is far more than a mere backdrop, but a living presence, shaped by music and sound design into something that feels almost like a character in its own right. It reflects the values closest to the hearts of the development team: a deep respect for nature, a commitment to living in harmony with the land, and the importance of taking time to slow down, breathe, and fully absorb the beauty around us. 

The nature in Hela: of Mice & Magic also offers space for exploration, experimentation, and play. It is a place where small discoveries can spark joy, where players can pause and leave the worries of everyday life behind, and where the creatures of the forest may become companions along the way. It is a major part of a story about balance, about harmony, and about the quiet magic of a world that invites players to reconnect with what truly matters.

Hela encourages you to work hand-in-hand to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. Play solo or with friends through local split-screen multiplayer or online co-op as you delve into lush, vibrant vistas together, from rugged mountains trails, through magical forests, to tranquil lakes.

Immerse yourself in this enchanting world as you glide through the air, collecting items, solve puzzles, and face the adversity of the natural world. The more you explore, the more story fragments you'll discover. Weave your own story by performing acts of kindness, feeling your impact ripple through the world.

Knights Peak and Windup Games are excited to announce that Hela: of Mice & Magic will launch in Q4 2026.

The game has also surpassed 1 million wishlists, marking a major milestone on its journey to release and proving that even the smallest heroes can leave a big impression. 

“We’re incredibly grateful for the support Hela: of Mice & Magic has received from players around the world,” said Alexander Benitez, Studio Head at Windup Games. “Reaching this point in the journey is both exciting and humbling for our team. As we enter the final stages of development, the enthusiasm and encouragement from our community continue to inspire us every day. We can’t wait to welcome players into Hela’s world this year.”

That support has also been echoed by creators around the world: thanks to their outstanding contributions, videos for Hela: of Mice & Magic have been viewed more than 140 million times organically across various social media platforms.

“Surpassing one million wishlists is a fantastic milestone for Hela: of Mice & Magic and a reflection of the passion, creativity and dedication that the teams at Windup Games and Knights Peak have poured into the project,” said Eugenio Vitale, VP of Publishing at Knights Peak. “We’re proud to work together with such talented people and excited to see so many players already eager to begin their adventure.”

While the music of Hela: of Mice & Magic tells another huge part of the story. It responds to the world around the players without ever overpowering it. Each area of the map has its own distinct theme, with melodies and instruments that reflect the characters and creatures players can encounter. Near homes and settlements, the music is rich and clear, while in the forest, it becomes more atmospheric, leaving room for silence and the natural sounds of the world. This careful balance ensures that the music enhances the sense of immersion, allowing players to feel truly connected to the environment.

Hela: of Mice & Magic blends exploration, cooperation, and a deep love for nature. With a soundtrack composed by Frida Johansson and Henrik Oja, renowned for their work on the Unravel series, the game invites players to slow down, take a breath, and rediscover what truly matters.
