Stella is also getting a bit more story content.“As Stella is getting more familiar with the job of Spiritfaring, she starts to uncover some of her memories, which are starting to blossom as wondrous flowers over her cabin,” The blog reads. “These flowers house butterflies that roost to form our new spirit friend : Lily, Stella’s younger sister.”

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

We called Spiritfarer the best adventure/puzzle game of 2020. In our review of Spirtfarer, we said it “is a gorgeous mix of an action-platformer and an Animal Crossing-style town manager that stands out as one of the most unique and enjoyable games I’ve played all year.”
