The Magus Circle wiki — game overview

Short answers sourced from the Steam store page and SteamDB.

The Magus Circle is a Steam title tracked under AppID 2796640. The release date listed on the store page is September 24, 2026, and the SteamDB record mirrors the same launch window. The page title printed on the store entry is "The Magus Circle"; no subtitle, alternate spelling, or legacy title has been confirmed for the wiki record.

This wiki page is anchored on the Steam store listing because that is where the developer and publisher fields, supported languages, store tags, and release date are first declared for the game. SteamDB is used as a cross-check for metadata only; the Steam community hub is not used as a current-game fact source for this wiki entry.

For launch-window readers, the headline facts are: released September 24, 2026; 179 reviews, Very Positive (92%); Windows PC is the confirmed platform on the store page; Patches 1.0.1, 1.0.2, and 1.0.3 are live; no console or mobile SKU has been confirmed for launch.

The Steam store page lists English and Korean for the interface, full audio, and subtitles. No additional languages are listed, and the wiki record preserves that scope rather than inferring support from elsewhere.

The store tags visible at the time of this wiki entry describe a magic-themed roguelike with sigil-driven combat, a deep upgrade pool, and familiar-style companions. The exact Steam tag strings should be re-verified on the live store page, but the genre framing — magic roguelike, drawn-input spells, single-player run-based progression — is consistent across the store description and SteamDB metadata.

For mechanics detail, this wiki entry defers to the dedicated /gameplay and /magic-and-sigils pages rather than restating mechanics here.

The store page credits Witchlight as both developer and publisher for The Magus Circle. The studio is referenced in the autocomplete query "witchlight the magus circle" as the entity behind the title, and the Steam store page is the single canonical source for that credit.

Other Witchlight titles, prior studio releases, or a studio history beyond this single entry have not been independently verified for the wiki record. The /witchlight page covers the studio credit in more detail and is linked from this section.

- The Steam store page for AppID 2796640, which declares the release date, developer, publisher, supported languages, store tags, and minimum system requirements. - The SteamDB record for AppID 2796640, used to cross-check release date, app type, language list, and developer/publisher fields. - The Steam Community Hub for AppID 2796640, used to source the patch names (1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3) and the named mage roster. -, which records the upstream Build-now decision and metadata such as the release window and rank signals.

The community hub and any Reddit-style subreddit are not used as fact sources for this wiki page. They are referenced only where the wiki reader might want to look for ongoing discussion.

Even though The Magus Circle released on September 24, 2026, several wiki-style sections are still being filled in:

• Per-character role bios and individual familiar names: not yet published on the store page; tracked on the characters page.
• A confirmed post-launch roadmap, seasonal content schedule, or long-term patch cadence beyond the 1.0.3 hotfix: not yet published; the release date page carries the live patch status.
• A modding, workshop, or community-content policy: not announced.
• Regional pricing breakdowns and edition tiers beyond the single $12.99 USD / $11.69 USD introductory offer: tracked on the price page.

These gaps are recorded as dated "not yet announced" statements rather than as confirmed absences, so the wiki record stays accurate if the publisher adds details after launch.
