Whether you are picking up the game on the Switch 2 or playing on other platforms, your party composition is vital. While some heroes join your journey automatically, most of the roster requires you to obtain crewmate cards. There is no gacha system or real-money store here; every character is earned strictly through gameplay.

To unlock new faces for your party, follow these simple steps:

  1. Complete Chapters and Quests: Play through the story and tackle side quests to earn crewmate cards as rewards.
  2. Engage in Co-op: Don't forget that one specific card requires you to join a co-op game and finish a few quick quests with other players.
  3. Visit the Knickknack Shack: Once you have your cards, travel to Folca and speak with Siero. You can exchange your crewmate cards for the characters of your choice.
