Sea of Stars launches day-and-date as a PlayStation Plus Game Catalog title August 29, developer Sabotage Studio has revealed.
The upcoming turn-based role-playing game inspired by the classics was already announced as coming to Xbox as a day-and-date Game Pass title, as well as PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Sea of Stars tells the story of two Children of the Solstice who combine the powers of the sun and moon to perform Eclipse Magic, the only force capable of fending off the monstrous creations of the evil alchemist known as The Fleshmancer.
Its release into the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog means Sea of Stars will be available for all Extra and Premium members on launch day. “It’s incredible for us to imagine how many more players worldwide will experience Sea of Stars and join the conversation around our project,” level designer Philippe Dionne said in a post on the PlayStation Blog.
To coincide with the announcement, a Sea of Stars demo is now available on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. It includes areas that will be part of the final game, but Dionne said the developers made sure to pick a slice that did not reveal any major spoilers from the main story.
“It is designed to give a hint of context but mostly showcases some gameplay systems and mechanics around dungeon crawling and combat,” Dionne explained. “It aims to provide a sense of the tone and vibe without giving away major points of the journey.
“It’s not exactly the final product, but we feel this playable slice represents what we are shooting for. We hope you will enjoy it!”
