Free Sea of ​​Stars DLC Arrives with New Challenges

Hey there, gamer bros and sisters! If you enjoy a good retro RPG, the kind that reminds you of afternoons playing Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VI With the controller in hand and a snack on the side, you can now start dusting off your console or PC. Sea of ​​Starsthat RPG that gave people a nostalgic touch, is coming with a new DLC, called Throes of the Watchmakerand the stuff promises to be awesome!

A Walk Through Time with a Watch in Your Hand

In Throes of the Watchmakerour heroes, Valere and Zale, return to face new troubles in a world that is a true work of watchmaking art. And, man, this is serious: they will face a cursed carnival (seriously, someone tell the people that carnival is a party, not a cosmic mess) and they need to use their powers of the Sun and the Moon to save the gang from this sinister event.

And if you thought it was just going to be more of the same, get this: Valere and Zale now have new fighting styles. Valere, who used to be more of a staff-wielding type, is now an acrobat – you can already imagine her doing somersaults on her enemies. Zale, who used to be the mischievous swordsman, is now a skilled juggler. It's going to be like those circus games, but with lethal moves, you know?

Now, hold on tight: the DLC will also bring a brand new character, the Artificer. Think of a mechanized guy who knows lasers and is also a sniper. This new hero promises to bring a different dynamic to combat, giving a new twist to strategies.

And it doesn't stop there. The sound, which was already a show in its own right in the original game, will gain even more strength. The one in charge of the beats of this new content is Eric W. Brown, who has already shown that he knows how to rock our journey with exciting soundtracks. And, of course, the legendary Yasunori Mitsuda, the wizard of RPG soundtracks, returns as a guest composer. If the soundtrack of Chrono Trigger made you cry once, get ready for more emotion to come.

Cooperation is Key

Sea of ​​Stars will also join in on the fun with a local co-op update, where up to three players can join forces on this epic journey.
