It’s been a long time coming, but the ship is ready to make sail as Spiritfarer is now available on PC and consoles. This long-awaited game from the makers of Sundered has been shown around the gaming world for the past year from PAX WEST to PAX EAST. Spiritfarer has been a long-time coming, but now, players around the world can embark on this heartfelt journey of closure, healing, peace, and finding the meaning in death and life. Featuring a stellar animation selection and an array of characters, Spiritfarer puts players on an unforgettable and heartfelt journey filled with magic and wonder.
Originally announced at E3 in 2019, Spiritfarer has been met with huge success with its players, garnering notice from top media outlets. For some time now, the game was listed as “launching in 2020,” bringing some mystery to the whereabouts of the game. Of course, 2020 has been all but simple, with a Pandemic sweeping across the planet and disrupting every facet of normal life. It took risks to stealthily launch Spiritfarer, but the element of surprise is a great one, and it will warm many hearts to see the game suddenly available.
“I will say that it’s been pretty tough keeping this launch under the radar!” admits Spiritfarer Creative Director Nicolas Guérin. “We took what is by far our biggest, most ambitious production yet, and decided to up the ante by releasing Spiritfarer simultaneously on almost every system under the sun. Our fans have been so patient, waiting for us just to say ‘when’. Well, I’m happy to tell them: the time is now! Spiritfarer is a game that’s near and dear to our hearts, so we hope you’ll set sail with us.”
Spirtfarer is now available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox. An official synopsis is below.
“Spiritfarer is a cozy management game about dying. You play Stella, ferrymaster to the deceased, a Spiritfarer. Build a boat to explore the world, then befriend and care for spirits before finally releasing them into the afterlife. Farm, mine, fish, harvest, cook, and craft your way across mystical seas. Join the adventure as Daffodil the cat, in two-player cooperative play. Spend relaxing quality time with your spirit passengers, create lasting memories, and, ultimately, learn how to say goodbye to your cherished friends. “
