April.20.2021
Spiritfarer is one of my all-time favorite games. From the relaxed atmosphere, the emotional storytelling, amazing artwork, and fun gampelay, it's a game I would recommend to anybody. And Thunder Lotus, the developer behind Spiritfarer, has announced that there's a new update for the game titled the "Lily Update". It's the first of three planned updates over the course of 2021.
The Lily Update addresses what Creative Director Nicolas Guérin said was the most common feedback received about the game; players wanting to know more about Stella. In the new update players will meet Lily the Butterfly Spirit and learn more about Stella's backstory. It also brings some improvements to Spiritfarer's co-op play as well as bug fixes for quality of life improvements.
For me, having more story elements that tells more of the tale of Stella is welcome. The storyline is incredibly intriguing and getting to know anything else is a bonus, especially in a free update. After I had finished the game I had turned to Google to learn more about the backstory, so it's nice to be able to have more of it directly in the game. While I haven't picked up Spiritfarer in a bit, I will be spending some time with this update.
