Publisher Knights Peak and developer Windup Games are enchanted to reveal the new name for Hela, now called Hela: of Mice & Magic.

Alongside a new Deep Dive giving a detailed look at the beauty of the games vibrant nature, and music players can enjoy in a handcrafted world inspired by Northern Sweden.

The new title reflects the heart and soul of the game. While Hela has always been about the bond between a kind witch and her tiny, brave familiars, the addition of Mice & Magic underscores the two unique pillars of the adventure: the extraordinary abilities of the mice and the enchanting magic that weaves through every corner of the world. This name change is more than just a new label, it’s a celebration of the game’s core themes of friendship, discovery, and the wonder of nature. It invites players to step into a world where even the smallest creatures can achieve great things through courage, teamwork, and a touch of magic.

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.

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.
