Netflix Unveils First MMO 'Spirit Crossing' Launching This Year

Netflix is venturing into the world of MMOs with the announcement of *Spirit Crossing*, a cozy life-simulation game developed by Spry Fox, unveiled at GDC 2025. If you're a fan of Spry Fox's previous titles like *Cozy Grove* and *Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit*, you'll appreciate the warm pastel visuals, soothing music, and a focus on fostering connections rather than competition.

Here’s What We Know About Netflix Spirit Crossing

In *Spirit Crossing*, players can explore a vast world, build and decorate homes, and cultivate a thriving village alongside other players. The game encourages you to gather resources, ride on adorable fluffy creatures, join dance parties, and simply enjoy the company of friends in a relaxing environment.

The visual style of *Spirit Crossing* draws inspiration from Studio Ghibli, French comics, and even incorporates elements of modern art styles like Corporate Memphis. This blend creates an aesthetic that feels timeless and inviting, encouraging players to immerse themselves for years to come.

A unique aspect of the game is its in-game calendar system, which influences progression. For instance, planting trees in the game won't yield instant results; they require three to six real-world months to mature into a harvestable orchard. This slow-paced, long-term design mirrors the approach Spry Fox took with *Cozy Grove*.

The heart of *Spirit Crossing* lies in its emphasis on forming meaningful connections, a core element of Spry Fox's design philosophy. Studio co-founder David Edery expressed his vision for the game as a space that transforms strangers into friends.

Netflix has released a captivating trailer for *Spirit Crossing*, which showcases the game's charm and allure. You can watch it here:
