Sea of Stars was a breakout success story from last year, with the nostalgic Kickstarter project surpassing an astonishing 4 million players across all platforms. We already knew more surreal JRPG action was coming, but the "mysterious and wacky DLC" offering has passed an important development milestone.
Confirming the happy news on Twitter, the developer shared a picture of the team and announced the project had graduated from pre-production and is now in full development. The Sabobo Summit, the majestic name given to a gathering of Sabotage Studio employees, was where the direction of the DLC was first pitched and where the "vision" for the third game solidified.
Little else is known about Sabotage Studios' future plans. The developer's first game, retro platformer The Messenger, launched in 2018 and is a prequel to Sea of Stars (albeit distantly), so presumably, the third game will serve as an epilogue. The Messenger itself received some high-quality post-launch support in the form of Picnic Panic, so here's hoping history repeats itself and we learn more in the coming months.
Would you be glad to see more Sea of Stars? Would you prefer something standalone or an expansion of what already exists? Dream big dreams in the comments section below.

Can’t wait!!! Game was so fun to platinum!
Not sure. I was left with a sour taste at the end... or the lack thereof.
In short, the game didn't feel finished cause they want to withold the story for game 3, which might be a completely different genre. They kind of lost me with the lack of commitment.
I loved this game all the way until the final portion of the game. The combat wore out its welcome, and having no log for your side quests made backtracking too much of a nuisance for me. I’m glad I beat the game, but I had no desire to seek out the true ending.
Hope we get a physical soon. Deserves it.
@jorel262
Physical is confirmed, out early May.
Been holding off on this in case it got a physical version so will be this day one when that’s out
@Dragoon1994 Yeah. Pre-ordered mine as soon as it was available.
@jorel262
I’ll be pre ordering soon.
Hoping to have plenty finished by then,
kinda difficult when most of the games I have for PS5 are all beefy space games, with how terrible the space is of the PS5.
Especially with Rebirth coming out next weekend that’s said to be over 100gb
