Sea of Stars: DLC and Co-Op Mode Updates on the Horizon, Developers Assure Fans

Fans eagerly anticipating the latest updates for Sea of Stars have been reassured by the developers that both the DLC and co-op mode are progressing well. As one of 2023's standout nostalgia-driven RPGs, this game continues to capture the interest of its audience.

Details about the game's co-op mode and story DLC are expected to be revealed later this year. The launch of Sea of Stars saw a warm reception, acclaimed by players worldwide and even praised by industry veterans like Hironobu Sakaguchi for its faithful recreation of classic RPG elements. In just four months post-release, four million people had already experienced the game.

A recent update from Sabotage Studio, shared via Twitter, mentioned that more information about the DLC would be coming before the year's end. This expansion, initially announced shortly after the game's release, is set to connect with The Messenger, a Metroidvania successor. Despite Sea of Stars being a prequel, it introduces characters who will later appear in The Messenger, a game that was released several years prior.

On another front, Sabotage Studio also informed fans through Twitter that the co-op mode is still in development. Further details are expected later this year. However, the exact timeline for these updates remains uncertain, so fans are encouraged to keep an eye on Sabotage's social media channels for further announcements.

It's important to clarify that the upcoming co-op mode isn't a traditional full-scale multiplayer experience. Instead, it functions as a drop-in, drop-out system, where the main player retains control over key actions such as initiating battles and navigating areas. The Sea of Stars Kickstarter page has previously hinted that this mode will include unique content, like a new dungeon specifically designed for two players.

The director of Sea of Stars has shared insights about the personal challenges that influenced the creation of this beloved JRPG, hinting at deeper narratives yet to be explored.
