Sea of Stars

Sea of Stars is a role-playing game (RPG) centered around two heroes named Valere and Zale, who use the power of the sun and moon to fight against an alchemist.[1][2] Gameplay includes elements of puzzle-solving and turn-based combat, with players able to control up to six player characters.[3][2] The game is inspired by role-playing games such as Illusion of Gaia, Breath of Fire, and Chrono Trigger[4] and features sailing mechanics, side quests, and combat focused around finding the "elemental weaknesses" of enemies.[5] Sea of Stars is located in the same setting as The Messenger, but is set thousands of years before the events of the latter game.[6]

Sea of Stars was announced on March 19, 2020, with an expected release date set for 2022. First launched as a project on Kickstarter, Sabotage intended to develop an RPG that was more ambitious than The Messenger. Creative director Thierry Boulanger said that Sabotage wanted to expand and tell a new story in the same game world, using a new genre unlike the metroidvania style of the first game. He wanted to include "higher stakes" with six characters and exploration that differed from the linear nature of The Messenger.[7] The game is being scored by Eric W. Brown with additional tracks from Chrono Trigger composer Yasunori Mitsuda.[4][8] In June 2022, Sabotage announced a delay of the game into 2023.[9] In December 2022, it was announced for a mid-2023 release.[10] In February 2023, Sabatoge announced an August release.[11]
