The game casts players as a witch who uses magic baked into food, with four culinary-themed magic attributes. A gamescom 2026 demo showed village rebuilding and combat with food-based spells.","whyItMatters":"The reveal pairs a cutesy baking theme with a notably dark premise: village residents are created by baking the souls of the dead into biscuits.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe new project from the Dungeons studio trades dungeon management for a food-themed fantasy. Realmforge Studios is building an action-adventure around a professional baker witch who channels magic through pastries, and the demo at gamescom 2026 showed off pizza beams, recovery bubbles, and grenade cakes as offensive spells.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMagic splits into four attributes, each tied to a style of food: earth leans toward breads and toasts, fire skews spicy, and wind covers sweets.

Realmforge's track record with Dungeons suggests the management layer will carry as much weight as the combat.","twitterPost":"Rise of the Spellbaker's food-based magic is a gimmick; the village rebuilding loop is where Realmforge's Dungeons experience shows.","threadsPost":"Rise of the Spellbaker sells itself on baking souls into biscuits, but the more telling detail is the village rebuilding. Realmforge built Dungeons, so the management half is the part that will actually test their craft. The combat is just the hook.","newsletterBlurb":"Kalypso Media and Realmforge Studios unveiled Rise of the Spellbaker at gamescom 2026, a food-themed action-adventure about a witch baker.
