- Important update about Ova Magica's console release - 14 July 2026
Hello everyone,As we count down the days until Ova Magica's console release, we have good and bad news. Originally, we had hoped to announce this alongside the console launch, but unfortunately it looks like timelines won't align to make it possible. To start with the good news, Ova Magica will be coming natively to Switch 2 - not just through backwards compatibility with Switch 1. We originally did not plan for this, given the game's development started much before Nintendo had officially announced the console. Supporting the new hardware required significant changes to our console codebase for native Switch 2 support. As a result, we've needed a little more time to finish and polish the other console versions. While we are near the finish line, we want every console version to launch in the best possible state. and ensure stability across all of Ova Magica's announced console platform…

- Important Update - Upcoming Major Announcement and More! - 17 April 2026
Hello to our amazing Ova Magica community 💚Over the past months, we’ve been working incredibly hard on Ova Magica and its full release.A huge part of that effort has been localization — translating over 300,000 words into multiple languages (Simplified Chinese, German, French, Spanish, and Japanese) — which turned out to be far more time-intensive than we expected.On top of that, we’ve also been preparing for a console release. It’s been a big journey for our small team! First of all: thank you 🙏 Your patience, support, and understanding truly mean the world to us. As a very small team working on a big game without the resources of a large studio, things sometimes take a bit longer — and we’re incredibly grateful that you’ve stuck with us along the way.With this small update, we have 2 important things to share!1) Upcoming Announcement 📢You can expect a MAJOR public announcement at t…
- A Note on Ova Magica’s Progress - 5 February 2026
Hello everyone,I’d like to share a brief status update with all Ova Magica players and our wonderful community. First of all, thank you so much for your patience, support, and enthusiasm - it truly means a lot to us 💚Beta UpdateThe 1.0 Beta phase has been extremely valuable for Ova Magica’s development. Many balancing changes were tested and refined directly based on your feedback, with the main goal of making the game more cozy, less punishing, and less grindy, while still keeping fun and meaningful challenges - and we’re happy to say we achieved that! This includes rebalancing core systems like energy, completely removing the midnight fainting mechanic (yay!), and fixing many frequently reported issues. As a result, Ova Magica 1.0 will feel significantly better, and I’m very proud of how the game has turned out. I’m highly confident that the final release delivers the experience prom…
