Patch 1.6.3 New Castle Catastrophe Maps!

Witch It · published 9 May 2025, 07:26 UTC · build 18387606

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam


Back in November, we launched Castle Catastrophe, Witch It's 4th map contest! Following the release of 200+ new creative mode structures and material overrides, participants now had more creative options than ever while building their contest entries. 🏰

"Castle Catastrophe" was the contest theme - participants were tasked with creating a castle-themed map that has been struck by a disaster. Map creators had the freedom to interpret this theme however they like, while remaining true to it's core intent. As a result, we had received arguably our most unique, diverse, and incredible selection of entries we've ever had the privilege of judging! 🤯

Each winning map is now implemented into Witch It and playable on the official Servers.
