The wings are fluttering once again! Maximum Entertainment and Rainbow have officially announced Winx Club: The Magic is Back, a brand-new video game adventure slated for release in April 2026. Launching on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5, this title marks the franchise's first major console appearance in over a decade.
A Modern Magical Experience
Timed to coincide with the highly successful CGI-revived animated series, The Magic is Back invites both lifelong fans and a new generation of players into a vibrant, modern reimagining of the Winx universe. The game is already riding a wave of global momentum; the new series recently claimed the #1 spot for kids' programming in over 40 countries on Netflix and remains a hit on major broadcasters like the BBC and RAI.
“This game brings that magic to life in a fresh and exciting way,” said Joanne Lee, Chief Content Officer at Rainbow. “We’re thrilled to share this new adventure with longtime fans and a new generation of players.”
Gameplay and Iconic Locations
Players will have the opportunity to explore meticulously crafted versions of the franchise's most famous landmarks. From the hallowed halls of Alfea College and the lush Enchanted Forest to the treacherous Coastal Cliffs and the Desert Ruins of Red Fountain, the world of Magix has never been more accessible.
Key features of the game include:
Six Playable Fairies: Seamlessly switch between all six Winx fairies, utilizing their unique magical abilities to solve environmental puzzles and defeat enemies.
Local Co-op: Join forces with a friend in a two-player local cooperative mode, perfect for tackling powerful bosses as a team.
Dynamic Combat: A blend of exploration and action that stays true to the spirit of the animated series.
A Global Phenomenon Reimagined
By combining nostalgic charm with updated CGI visuals and cooperative mechanics, Winx Club: The Magic is Back aims to capture the essence of what made Iginio Straffi’s creation a worldwide hit. Whether you’re mastering a fairy’s specific power or uncovering secrets in the Desert Ruins, the game promises a polished AA experience that celebrates friendship and magic.
Keep your wands ready—the fairies of Alfea soar back into action this April.
