Spirit of the North 2 News

Hey everyone!

It’s been a while since our last update, but we wanted to show you something exciting today!

In our previous dev blog, we introduced Ashlands. This once peaceful volcanic region which now lies desolate, is filled with ruins of a tribe that worshipped the powerful Bear Guardian and chose to awaken him.



Here’s a special behind-the-scenes speed design video of the Ashlands Dungeon, the home of the Bear Tribe being built in Unreal Engine 5 for Spirit of the North 2.

In the video you will catch a glimpse of what its like to go from prototype blockout to first pass meshed. Each area of Spirit of the North 2 has gone through this same process.

Additionally, here’s a sneak peek at the very first concept art of the guardian statues created which have become prominent figures in the game.

Can you spot the fox?







All images are still work-in-progress, and may change before release!



As you can see, there’s so much that goes into building each area of the game and the developers at Infuse Studio are hard at work from creative concepts to bringing every detail to life in the game.

Don’t forget to add Spirit of the North 2 to your Wishlist today and look forward to exploring the magical world as a fox!

Hey everyone!

We're going to kick off a series of dev blog updates to give you more insight into the world of Spirit of the North and give some sneak peeks into what you'll have in store on the epic journey.



[h2]The Fox[/h2]
In Spirit of the North 2, you step into the paws of an entirely new fox from the protagonist of the first game. Taking in feedback from the first game, the fox character has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, with an updated look and a newly designed movement.



[h2]The Raven[/h2]
Joining you for this adventure is your new companion, Thought, a wise Raven who will help guide you on your journey and aid you in traversing this new world.



[h2]The World[/h2]
Those who played the original Spirit of the North will be familiar with the icy Nordic-inspired landscapes they had to navigate. For Spirit of the North 2, we're going much bigger with the game world and sending players off to discover a variety of different regions, each with its own flavor featuring unique weather patterns.

Additionally, the move to Unreal Engine 5 has given us a range of tools to enhance the handcrafted world, bringing more detailed lighting and effects.



[h2]Abilities[/h2]
Players will discover runes along the journey that they can equip to change appearance and grant them abilities.



[h2]Music[/h2]
It wouldn't be a SOTN game without emotionally stirring music and immersive sound effects. This has been a major focus and our composer has truly elevated the experience of exploring the various landscapes.



We are excited for you to experience the beautiful journey of Spirit of the North 2.
Stay tuned for more updates from us over the upcoming months!
