Sea of Stars, the retro-inspired RPG from Sabotage Studio, is not only getting a DLC expansion, it's also set to receive a massive update — free for all players. Dubbed Dawn of Equinox, this massive patch now has a release date of 12th November, and the developer has revealed a bunch of details about what it brings to the game.

The headline addition is local co-op support for up to three players. You'll be able to enjoy the entire campaign alongside your pals, and it even includes a new co-op timed hits mechanic in combat, rewarding coordinated button presses.

Combat overall has been given an overhaul, too. A new Mystery Locks mechanic makes new enemy encounters slightly more challenging as you'll need to unlock which spells are best to counter them. Additionally, Combo Points will persist from one encounter to the next, allowing you to carry over your built-up points and start on a stronger footing. Finally, the whole game has received a balancing pass, based on feedback from players and to incorporate these new features.

Some other new features coming with Dawn of Equinox:
  • The prologue has been restructured; it now begins in the characters' childhood, and does away with the flashback nature of the old version.
  • A new cinematic scene has been added to a specific moment during the adventure.
  • A speedrunner mode relic can be activated to help track your playtime.
  • Three difficulty options can be chosen at the start of the game, utilizing the pre-existing relics, which you can alter during the game too.
  • The Parrot relic, which hints at collectibles throughout the game, has been improved.
  • A new Quebecois localization has been implemented.
  • Numerous other quality-of-life improvements have been added throughout the game.
It sounds like a very robust update to what is already a great game. We could've done with a better Parrot relic a little sooner, but better late than never! Again, this update comes a couple of months before the DLC, Throes of the Watchmaker — a free side story campaign, set to release early next year.
