The Spiritfarer Beverly update has arrived, adding an adorable tiny owl to the game as a new spirit along with several quality of life improvements and a bit of new content on PC and consoles.
Spiritfarer is a cutesy management game where you play the ferrymaster for the dead. You'll have to build a boat to explore the world and take spirits across the waters to the afterlife. This charming game has a fair amount of content planned for the year and a new update has just arrived to provide players with more things to do.
What's New in the Spiritfarer Beverly Update?
As the name implies, the first major addition in the Spiritfarer Beverly Update is the addition of a new spirit named Beverly. Beverly is Stella's old neighbor who takes the form of a tiny owl and she's been feeling rather lonely lately; you can recruit her in Oxbury.
Another new addition to the game is Buck's Looter's Literary reviews. These are special magazines that will give you access to a series of quests involving treasure maps, giving you a few more things to discover in the whimsical world of Spiritfarer.
Also arriving today is a number of new quality of life improvements, the first of which is a new save system that allows you to have three separate save files. Traveling is getting improvements, too; players can now select up to three points to explore in a single travel run and you can use the new "Safe Travel" mode to automatically skip events during your next travel.
The Spiritfarer Beverly Update is also adding a bit of fluff to the game, too — you can now hang out by the radio in the lounge and listen to any song you've already heard from the game's soundtrack. Sitting in a chair at night will now enable a "Stargazing" mode which hides the buildings and lets you enjoy the night sky.
These are just some of the changes coming to the game; you can read the full Spiritfarer Beverly Update patch notes for all the fine details. There's just one more addition I'd like to highlight: a whole bunch of new Spicy Food recipes have been added to the game.
Spiritfarer Beverly Update New Spicy Food Recipes
- Lakaa: A delicious spicy noodle soup that will cure any cold.
- Milquetoast: It's just wet bread.
- Flamin' Firebirdz: After a bag of these bad boys, you won't even feel your face.
