Sure thing, buckle up for a wild ride! Here we go:

Okay, so, here we are, finally. Spirit of the North 2 is out. I mean, I’ve been on edge for five years waiting for this. Why? Because it’s not just some game, you know? It’s like, a journey—or something. Anyway, let me spill the beans on what went down while bringing this to life.
I remember—oh, back in 2016-ish? I was in this awkward place. You know, like when you’re standing between two ice cream trucks and can’t decide which one’s better? I was neck-deep in architecture stuff, dabbling in 3D art, and juggling a gig managing an ice sculpting shindig. Yup, that’s right. Ice and art! Two worlds colliding, or maybe more like a beautiful mess.
Fast forward to a holiday in Reykjavík—can we talk about Iceland for a sec? That place is a freaking dreamscape! Mountains, glacial lagoons, and stuff that makes you think Mother Nature was just having fun with design patterns. Volcanic rocks that scream “touch me”; geysers ready to give you a boiling surprise. I swear, it was like finding the holy grail of inspiration.
And then there’s Tulikettu—a fox, but not your ordinary kind. Picture this: a fox swooshing its tail and, voilà, Northern Lights. Seriously, I didn’t make that up. Finnish folklore right there! Anyway, this little firecracker fox wrapped it all up for me. Bam! We’ve got our game’s spirit—literally.
Now, what grew out of this chaos was Spirit of the North. Picture a fox meandering through history’s leftovers, piecing tales lost in landscapes worn and weary. Dialogue? Nah, none of that. Just pure exploration and whatever story you conjure up along the way. With Spirit of the North 2, we tried cranking it up a notch: more layers to this embarrassment of riches called lore. The Stag, the Raven—heck, even the wind feels like it’s whispering secrets.
But let me tell you, it’s more than pushing pixels on screen. This is, well, our soul laid bare, warts and all. Every bit of scenery, every note in the music is, um, us. Creating wonderment is what we’re shooting for. Hope it works for you!
Anyway, get out there and give it a whirl on Xbox Series X|S. Trust me, the fox is waiting, and the lands are wide open. Happy exploring!
