During Nintendo’s Indie World Presentation, it was revealed that Sea of Stars will be receiving free DLC in 2025.
Sabotage Studio today revealed Throes of the Watchmaker, an all-new adventure arriving in Spring 2025 as free DLC for Sea of Stars, the acclaimed turn-based RPG inspired by the golden era of ‘90s role-playing classics. Throes of the Watchmaker was revealed as part of Nintendo’s Indie World presentation today and will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
Throes of the Watchmaker finds Valere and Zale, Sea of Stars’ dual protagonists fated to become world-protecting Solstice Warriors, returning to one of the most intriguing characters met during their adventure – the Watchmaker. Today’s announcement trailer shares a glimpse at the spectacular journey ahead:
In Throes of the Watchmaker, Valere and Zale venture into the magical miniature clockwork world of Horloge. This land’s denizens are threatened by a cursed carnival, which will force the Solstice Warriors to adapt to unfamiliar rules to fully realize their mastery of Sun and Moon powers.
Throes of the Watchmaker introduces a revamped fighting style for Zale, who trades in his signature sword to become a skillful juggler, and Valere, who forgoes her staff to dazzle as an acrobat. The DLC will also introduce an entirely new playable character in Artificer, a mechanized, laser-wielding sharpshot, as well as additional areas, music, puzzles and enemies to encounter.
Sea of Stars’ Lead Composer Eric W. Brown will create a stirring new score for Throes of the Watchmaker, once again in collaboration with Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger) who will return as a guest composer with additional original songs.
What do you think of Sea of Stars receiving free DLC in 2025?
