When Sea of Stars was released in 2023, not even its developer could have predicted the overwhelmingly positive reaction the indie RPG would receive. In a sea, pun intended, of nostalgic Chrono Trigger-inspired games, Sabotage Studio's take on the genre stood out. Now, three years later, the team is closing the chapter on Sea of Stars.
In a June 8 post on Steam, Sabotage Studio announced, "the final update is here." Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition marks "the end of a journey that has spanned more than seven years." Post-release support has also included the release of a free expansion called Throes of the Watchmaker. What the last update actually brings to the game is rather sparse, but no less interesting. The main addition is a new cinematic intro that "puts faces on heroes from the past known until now only by name."
