The game

PapaKow & Witchfire

Witchfire is the dark-fantasy, skill-based shooter from The Astronauts (the team behind The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, with Painkiller and Bulletstorm veterans). You play a witch hunter with gunpowder and spells against a cursed island — think Destiny gunplay with Dark Souls stakes and roguelite runs. It's been in Early Access since September 2023 and the 1.0 release is planned for late 2026.

Why it's on the list

Karl's been waiting on 1.0 for a proper single-player run on stream — the kind of night where chat picks the build and everyone yells at the same boss. Expect launch-week streams, then it slots into Sunday variety.
