Sabotage Studio has announced an exciting new expansion for their critically acclaimed turn-based RPG, Sea of Stars. The free DLC, titled "Throes of the Watchmaker," will be released in Spring 2025 across all platforms where the base game is available.
New Adventure in a Clockwork World
In this expansion, protagonists Valere and Zale embark on a journey to the magical miniature clockwork world of Horloge. The land is threatened by a cursed carnival, forcing the Solstice Warriors to adapt to unfamiliar rules and fully realize their mastery of Sun and Moon powers.
Gameplay Enhancements
Throes of the Watchmaker introduces several exciting additions to the game: New Combat Styles: Zale and Valere will receive significant class changes, transforming into a juggler and acrobat. These new roles will grant them entirely new movesets in combat. New Playable Character: Players will meet a brand-new party member called the Artificer, or Arty for short. This mechanical companion will bring unique abilities to the team, including the use of a laser pistol and the ability to rain down cannonballs on multiple foes. Additional Content: The DLC will feature new areas to explore, dungeons to traverse, enemies and bosses to face, and puzzles to solve.
Musical Collaboration
Sea of Stars' Lead Composer, Eric W. Brown, will create a new score for the expansion, once again collaborating with guest composer Yasunori Mitsuda, known for his work on Chrono Trigger.
Co-op Support
The DLC will support the upcoming local co-op mode, allowing up to three players to journey through the adventure together. This feature will be introduced in a separate free update for the main game and will carry over to Throes of the Watchmaker.
