Sabotage Studios confirmed that for free Sea of stars DLC content is already in the works.
It was first announced in 2020 through the studios Kickstarter campaign that the team would develop additional content in the form of free DLC once the base game came out. Now, just a week after the game’s release, it’s officially been confirmed that the Sea of stars DLC is currently in development (via Nintendo life And Canada radio).
Titled Cramps of the watchmakerGame director Thierry Boulanger has said that the DLC will be handled by one half of the studio, while the other half focuses on the studio’s next project.
While we don’t know exactly what the DLC will entail, the Kickstarter page does provide some information on the direction it will take, with Sabotage stating it will be a “full-fledged side adventure.”
It will also “take several months of development, which would expand even more to the world of Sea of stars and provide additional insight into the story that underpins all of our games.”
Sea of stars is a turn-based RPG inspired by classics that defined the JRPG genre and is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC. The game also received a rare day one release on PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass and is available for free to those who have subscribed to the respective services.
We gave the game four out of five stars, and in our Sea of stars review, our own Cat Bussell said the game “takes you on a wholesome adventure full of laughs, danger and twists. Borrowing mechanics from a wide variety of genres, Sea of stars is more than the sum of its parts, though it’s hampered somewhat by its relatively bland protagonists and lack of character customization.
