Netflix is venturing into the world of MMOs with the announcement of *Spirit Crossing*, a cozy life-simulation game developed by Spry Fox, unveiled at GDC 2025. If you're familiar with Spry Fox's previous titles like *Cozy Grove* and *Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit*, you can anticipate a game filled with warm pastel visuals, soothing music, and a strong emphasis on fostering connections rather than competition.
In *Spirit Crossing*, players will have the opportunity to explore a vast world, build and decorate homes, and cultivate a thriving village alongside others. Activities include gathering resources, riding on adorable fluffy creatures, joining dance parties, and simply enjoying the company of friends.
The game's visual style draws inspiration from Studio Ghibli, French comics, and even incorporates elements of modern art like Corporate Memphis. The aim is to create a timeless and inviting atmosphere where players feel at home and want to stay for years.
A unique feature of *Spirit Crossing* is its in-game calendar system, which influences progression. For instance, trees you plant will take three to six real-world months to mature into a harvestable orchard. This slow-paced, long-term design echoes Spry Fox's approach in *Cozy Grove*.
The game places a significant emphasis on building meaningful connections, a core element of Spry Fox's design philosophy. Studio co-founder David Edery has expressed his vision for *Spirit Crossing* to be a space that transforms strangers into friends.
Netflix has released a trailer for *Spirit Crossing*, showcasing its charming and captivating world. You can watch it below:
Currently, Netflix and Spry Fox are inviting players to participate in a closed alpha test for *Spirit Crossing*. If you're eager to experience the game early, you can sign up on the official closed alpha test page.
*Spirit Crossing* is set to launch later this year. In the meantime, don't miss our next article on *The Great Sneeze*, which turns classic art into a playful puzzle adventure, available now.
