Kalypso and Realmforge Unveil Dark Fairy-Tale Action Game Rise of the Spellbaker
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.

Kalypso Media announced Rise of the Spellbaker, a new action-adventure from Realmforge Studios, the Dungeons series developer. 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.
The 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.
Magic splits into four attributes, each tied to a style of food: earth leans toward breads and toasts, fire skews spicy, and wind covers sweets. Spells are baked in an oven at the protagonist's home, where arranging ingredients on a board alters the finished spell's stats.
The cheerful look carries a darker undercurrent. The village is rebuilt with materials gathered in the field, and its biscuit residents are formed by baking the souls of people who once lived there.
