Introducing Spirit Crossing: An Upcoming Life Simulation MMO Adventure

The last week or so has been jam packed with a huge amount of new game reveals and teasers. While the life simulation genre was a little on the quieter side, Spirit Crossing certainly grabbed our attention!

Initially revealed during the Wholesome Direct and described as a mix of a life simulation game and a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, it aims to help players rebuild connections between distant worlds.

What is Spirit Crossing?

As mentioned above, Spirit Crossing is a mixture of life simulation and massively multiplayer online (MMO) game. Developed and also being published by Spry Fox, the same team behind the ever so cosy Cozy Grove games, you know it's going to be filled with those ultimate warm cosy vibes.

Players will be able to befriend bears, aid spirits that have lost their way, riding Fluffalo's and help build a thriving village alongside other players. With endless opportunities for players to express themselves, make new friends and explore a social experience like never before.

You'll find yourself in the storm swept realm of Crosslands. A place that's in between the human and the spirit world. Create your home in the vast and ever changing landscape which you share alongside others, which fosters community, kindness and friendship.

Maybe you'll go out and explore the world, harvest flowers, take part in a fishing tournament, sit and play music to those passing by, watching the sunset from the rooftop. Each and every day brings new endless possibilities as well as lots of fun, creative interactions between friends and other players.

Even More Spirit Crossing Features

While building thriving villages with others, you can join the Waystation; A place where you can organize and customize the village and watch it grow alongside other players and other community members. You can build, decorate, fortify and sustain your homes. Waystations can also allow you to play with more new friends and explore new areas.

While on the topic of building, players can make a unique home, decorate it in many ways and use their home in many different ways. Spirit Crossing may also share with you a small surprise in the form of a small and adorable roommate.

Yet, there's more to Spirit Crossing than just building.

Your social experiences really can be curated. The game features a unique friendship system. Players can level up individual friendships, make use of proximity chat, two player emotes, gift giving, and more.

One additional feature in Spirit Crossing is keeping yourself and others safe, especially during the storms that come across the Crosslands. By simply performing acts of kindness and leaving offerings at Waystation Beacons, players can help hold off the storms just that little bit longer.

As you embark on your journey and explore the realm, you'll meet a variety of different people and spirits who need your help. By showing patience and kindness, they'll become more relaxed and open up to you. Occasionally, they may even gift you items and share stories.

Spirit Crossing is currently scheduled to release on Steam and also on mobile via Android and iOS.
