The Lily update is the first part of Spiritfarer’s 2021 content roadmap and adds new depth to Stella’s story. Its release coincides with Spiritfarer selling more than half a million copies.
Lily the Butterfly Guide joins the ranks of Stella’s passengers. Their purpose is exploring Stella’s past through a series of new episodes, and it’s something fans have requested since the game first released in 2020.
Creative Director Nicolas Guérin said:
The Lily update also fixes some bugs and improves co-op mode.
It’s the emotional core of the game, so we wanted to get it right; Lily offers a sweet and personal window onto who Stella is, and we hope the players like what we’ve done with this update.
It’s understandable why fans want to know more about Stella. The base game is very much about Stella continuing her role as caregiver and helping others. Now it’s her turn to tell her story.
