We don’t usually have event to cowl Spry Fox right here within the MMO world, however readers may keep in mind that means again in 2021, the Cozy Grove/Street Not Taken developer introduced that it was hiring for a “non-violent MMO challenge,” which instantly caught our consideration. Then it bought picked up for publishing by Epic Video games and Spry Fox itself was acquired by Netflix. By way of all of that upheaval, the indie studio promised that work on its MMO would proceed. Actually, as of final fall, we had a codename – Undertaking Friendship – in addition to the beginning of testing.
As of GDC, we now have much more than that. Final evening, Spry Fox introduced the sport is named Spirit Crossing. I’m not seeing the literal time period MMO getting used within the new supplies (although multiplayer was being labored on final fall). Truly, if I had two phrases for the trailer, it’s “Miyazaki Palia.” That’s not a grievance, both.
“We Foxes have been engaged on our subsequent challenge for properly over 4 years, and we’re thrilled to lastly announce Spirit Crossing to the world!” Spry Fox says. “Spirit Crossing is a comfortable, cooperative life-sim targeted on friendship and group. Journey to a world the place you may beautify your own home, construct with your folks, trip on a Fluffalo practice, and even be a part of a dance celebration.”
The video invitations gamers to join early entry, however the hyperlink nonetheless goes to the closed alpha testing kind from final fall, which is presumably the identical factor now, because the group says it’s “working towards an Alpha playtest within the spring.” Notice that whereas the sign-ups point out cell play, Spry Fox has prior to now recommended it’ll function on PC and console too.
