Sea of Stars Gets Demo And Release Date

Today’s Nintendo Direct gave us a new look at Sabotage Studio’s Sea of Stars. This follow-up game to The Messenger is set in the same universe, but set many years prior to the team’s first game, and with an entirely different style and genre, recalling the early era of console RPGs, represented by games like Final Fantasy VI. 

Sea of Stars features some stunning pixel art visuals, and also boasts guest musical compositions from Yasunori Mitsuda, whose music enhanced such games as Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

New trailer showcases the vast array of locations that players will visit and some fascinating turn-based combats.

Sea of Stars looks increasingly like an exciting treat for anybody who has fond memories of those early console RPGs.

Switch will get the game on August 29th, and a demo version is now available on Nintendo eShop.
