This third and final free update planned for Spiritfarer this year is also its largest. In the Jackie and Daria Update, our heroine Stella sets sail for a new island where she’ll discover a dilapidated hospital and two new spirits: the caretaker Jackie, and Daria, his main patient. Stella’s care and efforts will help soothe a troubled mind and bring the facility back to its former glory. Additionally, the update adds a new platforming event, as well as new upgrades for the ferry.

“We’ve saved the best for last!” said Spiritfarer Creative Director Nicolas Guérin in a prepared statement. “The team was unanimous in their desire to make the game’s final update something special, and I feel they’ve really pulled out all the stops here. The Jackie and Daria Update is a lovely curtain call for Spiritfarer as well as a great show of gratitude to the fans who’ve supported us since the day we announced the project . We hope they enjoy taking one final voyage with us!”
