Sea Of Stars DLC Might Connect More With The Messenger

Sabotage Studios is currently working on DLC for its retro-inspired RPG, Sea of Stars. It's titled, "Throes of the Watchmaker" and aims to tie together the narrative between it and its side-scrolling sequel, the Messenger. The games are loosely connected as they take place in the same universe thousands of years apart.

In an interview with Radio Times, Sea of Stars director Thierry Boulanger provided an update that a small team is currently handling the story DLC while another team is on an entirely different project. The DLC was already promised as part of the game's Kickstarter campaign stretch goals, and its purpose is to expand the world of Sea of Stars and insight for the overarching narrative across all of Sabotage Studios' games.

Sea of Stars has received generally positive reviews from outlets and sold over 100,000 copies despite being readily available to download for Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium subscribers.

Sea of Stars was first announced in 2020, with Chrono Trigger composer Yasunori Mitsuda contributing to the game's soundtrack. While it was originally supposed to be released in 2022, it finally came out on August 29, 2023, for PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox.
