Le Bouveret, Switzerland / La Réunion, France, September 23, 2026. Kipwak Studio, in co-production with Lake On Fire and supported by Swiss Games, the Reunion Region and FEDER (European Union), today announces that Wizdom Academy, its 3D wizard school builder and management sim, will officially leave Early Access and launch in full on November 16, 2026.
Since entering Early Access on Steam in April 2025, Wizdom Academy has been developed alongside its community through regular updates, playtests and player feedback. The 1.0 release marks the next major milestone for the game, bringing the academy-building experience to its full release.
What is Wizdom Academy?
Wizdom Academy is a 3D builder management sim developed by Kipwak Studio, a Franco-Swiss indie studio based between Le Bouveret (Switzerland) and La Réunion (France). Players take on the role of the Headmaster of their own wizarding school: designing every room floor by floor, recruiting students from across the world, managing mana reserves, dealing with staff demands, and answering to the Directorium, the magical authority that funds and inspects the academy.
Students accumulate over 100 unique traits, unlock more than 50 Destinies, and return to study multiple times before graduating. The best students can remain at the academy as teachers, allowing each generation to shape the next.
Every academy develops differently. Players must manage mana droughts, staff demands and rival academies while expanding their school, sending professors on expeditions and responding to the Directorium’s demands.

The team has also continued to improve the game’s building and management systems, giving players more freedom to design their academies and develop their own approach to running a magical institution.
