Retro-inspiꦛred RPG Sea of Stars will announce new details on its🍰 co-op mode and story DLC later this year.

I adored Sea of Stars at launch last year, and so did many other people around the world, with four million people having playeꦐd the🉐 retro RPG in four months after release. The love extended to Chrono Trigger's own developers, with veterans like Hironobu Sakaguchi co♛mmenting that Sea of Stars did a great job of aping the look and feel of the classic RPG.

Nearly one year after the launch, developer Sabotage Studio h♉as provided two brief updates on projects that it's working on related to the RPG. Firstly, in the short update on Twitter below, the developer responds to a fan asking about DLC fo🅺r Sea of Stars, saying details on the expansion would be coming later this year.

This is the DLC that Sabotage announced shortly after Sea of Stars launched last year, revealing that it would connect to Metroidvania successor Theꦏ Messenger. Sea of Star🥃s acts as a prequel to the ninja platformer, setting up some of the char𝕴acters that would go on to appear in The Messenger, even though it came out years after the hack-and-slash game.

Additionally, Sabotage also revealed to another fan on Twitter that it's "still working" on the couch co-op mode for Sea of Stars and that more details would similarly be coming later this year. Right now, at least, there are no details on when exactly we can expect these update🦄s, so stay tuned to Sabotage's social channels for more.

It's worth noting that thi🤡s isn't a full-blown couch co-op mode. It's more of a drop-in, drop-out co-op mode, that grants full power to the main player in initiating combat and leaving areas. When the mode does arrive, Sea of Stars' page previously revealed that it'll feature co-op exclusive areas like a brand new dungeon desig🦄ned for two players.
