One of the best RPGs of 2023, Sea of Stars shows no signs of staying in the past. We already know to expect some story-based DLC since that was a stretch goal for the game when it was in the works Kickstarterbut now we know it’s officially in development.
Developer Sabotage Studio he shared a tweet earlier today, updating fans on current plans for the studio. Back in November 2023, the team gathered for the “Sabobo Summit”, an event where Sabotage seemingly gathers and shares ideas. And at the last one, two things were discussed — the Sea of Stars DLC and the vision for “Game 3”.
All we know from this tweet is that the DLC is actually out of pre-production, meaning that the team is now fully working on the DLC. In terms of details, all we get from this is that the DLC will be “mysterious and wacky” and that “a malevolent spectacle awaits…”. Interesting…

Business is going well with a mysterious and wacky DLC officially out of pre-production!
An evil spectacle awaits…”
With the DLC just out of pre-production, we imagine we’re still a long way from actually seeing the next part of the story, but we’ll keep our eyes open.
And while we’ve known about DLC for a while — game director Thierry Boulanger confirmed to Radio Canada that DLC is on the horizon as early as September 2023 (thanks Push Square!) — we also know thanks to the Kickstarter page that it will be called The pains of a watchmaker. The DLC aims to help connect the dots between the Super NES-inspired RPG and action platformer, The Messenger, and will focus on the predominant NPC that appears in Sea of Stars.
We’re guessing that “Game 3” will also take place in the same shared universe as The Messenger and Sea of Stars, but it’s clear that Sabotage is tight-lipped about details for the sequel. For now, a small team is working on the DLC, while the others are hard at work on the next game. Whatever it is, we’ll be there.
Sea of Stars was a huge success for Sabotage, who announced that the game had reached more than 4 million players worldwide. It wasn’t released until late August 2023, so that number is pretty impressive.
