It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.

| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 27% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.70 | +0.175 35% | Nintendo Life is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.97 | +0.195 39% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
It has been a good couple of weeks for Witchbrook news. After keeping an eye on Chucklefish's witch RPG for years, we finally got a release date in last month's Indie World Showcase (28th January, for those wondering), and now the developer has confirmed that Switch 1 & 2 players will be able to play with each other at launch. As highlighted by Smash Jump, one of the game's developers took to the Witchbrook Discord channel late last month to announce that Switch 1-to-2 crossplay would not be available at launch, but would be added down the line. Things changed in the ensuing week, it seems, as the dev later followed up the message with the following correction: "Update: Switch 1 and 2 will be able to play together". com
