"Sea of ​​Stars" launched in 2023 is preparing to prepare for the return this month, and it is surprising that this rich and self-contained post-letter adventure will be launched as a free update.

The DLC sounds like an interesting return to the slightly weird world of Sea of ​​Stars (the same world as the witty ninja platformer The Messenger).This time, it will lead players into the Clockwork circus pocket dimension called Horloge, unfolding a new adventure that takes place after the main game.Sabotage Studio estimates that the adventure lasts a considerable length of 8 hours.This is a good game duration in most other game types.

The original protagonist duo Zale and Valere are back, but they are forced to switch to new careers—the juggler and the acrobat, respectively—fitting with the style of the big tent.They will face a group of evil performers led by puppet manipulators.The puppet manipulator is a domineering female circus foreman who wields a whip.

New to joining the team is robot partner Atti, the new mechanical partner has a cute appearance and is equipped with laser weapons and metal joints.

Although the main composer of the acoustic music of this expansion is still Eric W. Brown, the music master of "Wheel of Time and Space" Yasunomi Mitsuda will also return to provide some guest music works.So, remember to pay attention to those iconic musical melodies.

This may be the last appearance of Sea of ​​Stars before Sabotage Studios in the French-speaking Canadian region is fully committed to the next project.Coupled with last year's large update "Dawn of Equinox" (this update has adjusted the combat system, added a three-player cooperation mode and a complete localization of Quebec French), it feels like this game is worthy of being the focus again, and may add a little more to Kerry Brunskill's originally cautious positive review.

"The Watchmaker's Struggle" DLC will be released for free on May 20.
