Netflix Unveils First MMO: Spirit Crossing Launching Soon

Netflix is venturing into the world of MMOs with the announcement of *Spirit Crossing*, a cozy life-simulation game developed by Spry Fox. Announced at GDC 2025, this game promises to bring the warm, pastel visuals and soothing music that fans of Spry Fox's previous titles, like *Cozy Grove* and *Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit*, have come to love. *Spirit Crossing* focuses on fostering connections rather than competition, offering players a serene and engaging experience.

Here’s What We Know About Netflix Spirit Crossing

In *Spirit Crossing*, you'll have the opportunity to explore a vast world, build and decorate your own homes, and work with others to cultivate a thriving village. The game encourages you to gather resources, ride on adorable fluffy creatures, join dance parties, and simply enjoy the company of friends in a relaxed atmosphere.

The visual style of *Spirit Crossing* draws inspiration from the enchanting worlds of Studio Ghibli, the artistic flair of French comics, and even touches of the modern Corporate Memphis style. The aim is to create an environment that feels timeless and inviting, a place where players might choose to spend years.

A unique feature of *Spirit Crossing* is its in-game calendar system, which influences the game's progression. For example, trees you plant will take three to six real-world months to mature into a harvestable orchard. This slow-paced, long-term design echoes the approach Spry Fox took with *Cozy Grove* and adds a layer of realism and anticipation to the gameplay.

At the heart of *Spirit Crossing* is the emphasis on building meaningful connections, a principle deeply rooted in Spry Fox's design philosophy. Studio co-founder David Edery has expressed his vision for the game to serve as a platform that can turn strangers into friends.

Netflix has released an enchanting trailer for *Spirit Crossing* that showcases its charm and beauty. You can watch it below and get a taste of what's to come:
