We can’t wait to share what we’ve got in store with Spiritfarer fans.”
“It’s been an immense pleasure to collaborate with iam8bit on Spiritfarer’s physical editions,” said Spiritfarer’s Creative Director Nicolas Guérin. “Spiritfarer is a special game which means the world to our team, and to finally be able to hold such a passion project in our hands is so satisfying and heartwarming! I hope these physical editions find their way straight into our fans’ hearts, as the Spirits in Spiritfarer did.”
