New Sea of Stars DLC is a completely original eight-hour campaign, totally free

On the surface, Sea of Stars is an appeal to basic nostalgia, a kind of aesthetical victory lap for the likes of Chrono Trigger and Earthbound. But the longer you play it, the more it becomes a credible, modern RPG in its own right. Already one of the genre’s most beloved, while Monster Hunter Wilds, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and of course Oblivion Remastered occupy the charts, the new Sea of Stars DLC makes Sabotage’s 2023 hit feel fresh again. Dawn of the Equinox added couch co-op and a rebuilt combat system. Now, Throes of the Watchmaker is bringing an entirely new, post-main-game campaign. And not only is it totally free - we now know the release date.
