I haven’t disappeared, and development has never stopped.The remaining content planned for Spirit X Strike consists of major story expansions that are deeply connected to the game’s main narrative.

I’m currently working on the game’s final climactic chapter, followed by optimization and polish across all existing content.My goal is to deliver the complete experience of Spirit X Strike this summer and give this passionate, long-running journey the finale it deserves.With the anniversary here, I’d also like to share some of the latest development progress with everyone.A New Adventure ContinuesIn the upcoming chapter, Carter and Irina venture deep into the mountains in search of medicinal herbs, only to come under attack from the mysterious Woodling.These enemies are highly agile and possess powerful restraining abilities.

  Steam Awards Underway | November 28 Update: Follow-Up Combo Improvements

  Hello fighters! We are planning to push an update on November 28 that focuses on refining cross-style follow-up combo for smoother moves, and improving tutorial for easier pickup. Also, a small announcement here: Spirit X Strike is up for “Best Game You Suck At” in the 2025 Steam Awards! I know that Spirit X Strike’s high-speed combat can be demanding (certain sections may have caused smashed keyboards), but watching players practice, improve, go from getting stuck to progress, from beaten up to beating them up… maybe that feeling of triumph is exactly why we love action games! If that is also how you felt playing Spirit X Strike, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could vote for the game! You’ll find the detailed patch notes below for reference. If you run into any issues or have suggestions, feel free to reach out in our official Discord server. I’ll work on everything as quickly as possible. —————————— v0.62 PATCH NOTE Added cross-style follow-up combo: after switching styles, player now continues follow-up moves based on previous ones. Added Eagle style Spirit Dash counterattack special move. Added new dialogue animations for Irina, Hawk, and Erin. Added QTEs to Perfect Dash tutorial in the prologue: player now needs to wait for enemy’s attack through the QTE section. Added Retry option on Hot-Blooded Trial results screen. Adjusted Eagle style follow-up after dash attack for smoother transitions. Updated the move list to include the additions and adjustments of follow-ups. Adjusted tutorial panel: pressing “Continue” will proceed to the next page, only returning to the game on the final page. Adjusted enemy tracking to prevent 180 degree turning air attack.
