Spiritfarer: three free updates with four new adorable spirits coming in 2021

Thunder Lotus Games launched the Spirtfarer development roadmap for 2021 and includes three free updates, four new adorable spirits and more. As detailed in a Thunder Lotus blog, the first of three updates is called Lily and will arrive in spring 2021.

This update will bring improvements in quality of life and an improved cooperative system with a new user interface and cooperative fishing. Stella is also getting a little more story content.

“As Stella is becoming familiar with Spiritfaring’s work, she begins to discover some of her memories, which are beginning to blossom like wonderful flowers in her cabin,” says the blog. “These flowers are home to butterflies that perch to form our new spiritual friend: Lily, Stella’s younger sister.”

Lily, who is obviously the new spirit in this update, is the only spirit that is active during the night. “Just as she was a striking presence in the life of her older sister, here she lights up the night and allows you to sail your boat even when it is dark.”

Beverly’s update, which will be released in the summer of 2021, adds new boat buildings, collectibles, recipes and improvements in quality of life. Beverly is the new spirit and is an old neighbor to Stella. She has been feeling lonely and is happy to finally have someone to talk to about the past.

The new station to be introduced is called the Archives Room and will allow players to inspect the new type of collectible known as Acetate Sheets.

The final update for 2021 is called the Jackie & Daria Update and will be released in the fall. This update will include a new island to explore, new buildings and facilities for boats and a new event.

The new island is home to a run-down hospital and two new spirits. The spirits are an overworked janitor named Jackie and his patient Daria. Stella is happy to lend a hand and help the two.

We call Spiritfarer the best adventure / puzzle game of 2020. In our Spirtfarer review, we said that “it’s a beautiful mix of an action platform game and an Animal Crossing-style city administrator that stands out as one of the most original and fun games that I played all year. “
