Not content with putting out one of the most impressive modern RPGs in recent years in Sea of Stars, Sabotage Studio recently followed it up with the launch of substantial, free story DLC Throes of the Watchmaker, which is easily one of the best things I've played this year. Now, in a new interview, creative director and Sabotage CEO Thierry Boulanger explains why it came out at no cost, and teases the potential for one more Sea of Stars update as the team continues work on its new game, Project Sparrow.

Much as Clair Obscure Expedition 33 has forged a new path for what JRPGs can be in 2025, so Sea of Stars did two years prior. The stunning pixel-art adventure from Canadian team Sabotage Studio shares a lot of common ground with Sandfall Interactive's masterpiece. It draws tremendous inspiration from genre classics, with Chrono Trigger in particular a clear influence, then builds on those concepts with fresh ideas of its own, garnishes them with satisfying combat, and wraps them in beautiful art direction. Now, as Sabotage unleashes a major story DLC for free, you can get Sea of Stars at its l

Hello everyone, The time has come: Throes of the Watchmaker — the free DLC for Sea of Stars — is out now! We spent nearly two incredible years crafting this free DLC as a heartfelt thank-you to our fans. Your support made it possible, and we hope this bonus final adventure for Sea of Stars will bring you joy. To celebrate the launch, Sea of Stars is currently available at its lowest price since release, with a limited-time discount of 35% off! If you want to help in bringing more eyeballs to this circus-themed romp, the best way is always to leave a comment on the trailer on YouTube, and share

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 campaig

"A beautifully made retro-inspired RPG that will instantly transport you back to the 16-bit golden years, for better or worse," was how Katherine Castle (RPS in peace) summarised Sea Of Stars, a Chrono Trigger-style pixelart sojourn down memory lane from Sabotage Studios, creators of The Messenger. I imagine it's better rather than worse for the addition of some sizeable, circus-themed free DLC, Throes Of The Watchmaker. Out 20th May, the expansion adds a new playable character, Arty, together with an estimated eight hours of new areas, music, dungeons, minigames, enemies, bosses, puzzles, and

It's still only November, but I'm ready to call it: Sea of Stars developer Sabotage Studio wins the award for Best Free Update of 2024. If you haven't played the turn-based RPG yet, which is inspired by Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, and a little bit of Diablo, now is definitely the time. Combining a smart, funny story, some unique twists on combat, and a seriously beautiful visual style, Sea of Stars has just been effectively remade. Battles are better, the prologue has been expanded, new difficulty settings are available, and you can now play the entire campaign with friends thanks to co-op
