What will you leave behind?

Thunder Lotus bids a fond farewell to its “cozy management game about dying” today, with the announcement that Spiritfarer has surpassed the 1 million copies sold milestone. The news coincides with today’s launch of the Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition.

The Farewell Edition brings together the base game and all the additional content released to date, including the new Jackie and Daria Update, which has been added to the game today.

Spiritfarer has proven to be Thunder Lotus’ most successful project to date. Since its launch in August 2020, the game has tallied 1,000,000 units sold worldwide across all systems, received both critical acclaim and  Overwhelmingly Positive reviews from players, been nominated in multiple categories across The Game Awards 2020, the 2021 BAFTA Game Awards, the 24th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, the Hugo and Nebula Awards, and is a multi-category winner at the Canadian Game Awards.

Throughout 2021, free downloadable content has been added to Spiritfarer. Following the Lily update in the Spring and the Beverly Update in Summer, the third and final Jackie & Daria update was added to Spiritfarer today. It introduces a new island to explore, two new Spirits to befriend, a new event, and more.

“All good things must come to an end,” said Spiritfarer Creative Director Nicolas Guérin in a prepared statement. “And Spiritfarer has been especially good for Thunder Lotus!  For our work to be welcomed into the lives of so many people is especially gratifying, particularly given how much heart we tried to invest in the game. It was a challenging project, but telling these stories truly helped us grow as developers. We’d like to offer our heartfelt thanks to all our fans for their support and for helping us reach this special milestone!”

Also available are the physical retail edition and limited Collector’s Edition both of which will feature all of the Spiritfarer: The Farewell Edition content.

The physical edition for PlayStation 4 ($29.99/€29.99) and Nintendo Switch ($34.99/€34.99) includes a 96-page digital art book, six collectible postcards and sticker stamp sets highlighting exotic locations from the game, and a digital download of the game’s soundtrack, composed by Max LL. The Collector’s Edition ($199.99), shipping in early 2022, features all of the above as well as a fully functional Everlight Replica and an innovative Constellation Lantern Display Box to add to the ambiance of the box set.
