Netflix Unveils First MMO: Spirit Crossing Coming Soon

Netflix is venturing into the world of MMOs with their latest announcement at GDC 2025: **Spirit Crossing**. Developed by the cozy game specialists at Spry Fox, known for titles like *Cozy Grove* and *Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit*, this new life-sim promises to deliver the warmth and charm fans have come to expect. With its pastel visuals, soothing soundscapes, and a focus on building connections rather than competing, Spirit Crossing is set to be a comforting escape for players.

Here’s What We Know About Netflix's Spirit Crossing

In **Spirit Crossing**, you'll have the freedom to explore a vast world, build and personalize homes, and work together with others to cultivate a thriving village. Activities include gathering resources, riding on adorable fluffy creatures, joining in dance parties, and simply enjoying the company of friends. The game draws visual inspiration from Studio Ghibli, French comics, and even modern art styles like Corporate Memphis, creating a timeless and inviting atmosphere that players will want to return to time and again.

One unique feature of Spirit Crossing is its in-game calendar system, which influences the game's progression. For instance, trees you plant will take three to six real-world months to mature into a harvestable orchard, echoing the slow-paced, long-term design philosophy Spry Fox explored in *Cozy Grove*. The emphasis here is on fostering meaningful connections, a core element of Spry Fox's design ethos. Studio co-founder David Edery has expressed his vision for Spirit Crossing to be a space where strangers can become friends.

Netflix has released a trailer for Spirit Crossing, showcasing its charming and enchanting world. You can watch it below to get a glimpse of what's in store:
