One of 2020’s best games that depict death and dying in the brightest and calming way possible is getting a bunch of free updates.

Developer Thunder Lotus Games will be updating Spiritfarer on Spring, Summer, and Fall according to a roadmap it published. We’ll be getting more story content for our protagonist Stella, a bunch of quality of life improvements, and a bunch of new spirits: Stella’s sister, an owl, a hyena, and a bat.

We’ll break it down:

Spring 2021 Update: Lily

• New spirit: Stella’s younger sister Lily.
• New Stella story content.
• Improved co-op.
• Quality of life improvements.

Summer 2021 Update: Beverly

• New spirit: Beverly, Stella’s old neighbour.
• New boat buildings, collectibles, and recipes.
• More quality of life improvements.

Fall 2021 Update: Jackie & Daria

• New spirits: Jackie the caretaker and Daria the patient.

The best part? This is all free! God bless the devs for fleshing out an already-stella(r) game that’s going to leave us an emotional wreck. For more on Spiritfarer, check out our review & our Best of 2020 writeup.
