Sea of Stars Update 1.07 Summons Dawn of Equinox Free Content Drop

As promised by Sabotage Studio, the free content drop for hit RPG Sea of Stars is now live on all platforms! Titled “Dawn of Equinox” players will see this as Sea of Stars update 1.07 on last-gen platforms, while current-gen console owners will be prompted to download version 1.007.

The Sea of Stars Dawn of Equinox content drop houses a lot of new additions and features, such as local co-op, a revamped prologue, an overhaul of the combat and more.

Sea of Stars Update 1.07 Adds a Slew of New Features All for Free

• All-New Local Co-op: Sea of Stars’ story will be playable in its entirety by up to three players, with allies traversing the world together and mastering a new Co-op Timed Hits combat mechanic.
• Combat 2.0: The addition of Mystery Locks brings a new gameplay loop around revealing the ways to break the spells of enemies each time a new type is encountered in battle. Along with “Reveal” functions added to some of the playable cast’s special skills, Combo Points now remain after battle, offering new ways to open certain encounters, or test different damage types on enemies to reveal their locks. A comprehensive balancing pass has also been done to reflect both these new changes and player feedback since launch.
• A Revamped Prologue: Implementing combat for the young versions of our heroes, the updated flow does away with the flashback structure to begin in their childhood, directly including action in the prologue.
• Bonus Cinematic Scene: An entirely new cutscene has been added to accentuate a pivotal moment in the original adventure, referred to as “Paths on Water”.
• A Speedrunner Mode Relic: This new item activates a range of features helpful for those looking to set a new personal best or world record.
• Difficulty Presets: Three difficulty options are now available when starting a new game, which are presets using the game’s Relics. New Relics have also been added, both for quality of life and difficulty adjustments.
• Improved Parrot Relic: Sea of Stars’ secret-tracking parrot has learned a few new tricks to better assist players tracking down overlooked challenges and collectibles.
• Quebecois Localization: A comprehensive French Canadian translation for Quebec’s finest Solstice Warriors.
• Quality of Life Improvements: An array of general updates and improvements spanning Sea of Stars’ full campaign.

In the press release sent out by Sabotage, the studio mentions how they see the update as a way of refining the Sea of Stars experience even more, with Thierry Boulanger, co-founder of Sabotage Studio stating, “We ultimately see Dawn of Equinox as the community’s gift to us – the overwhelming love and support they’ve shown us ever since we announced Sea of Stars is what gave our team the means to return to the project and refine it even more.”

This isn’t the end for the RPG, as there is premium DLC on the way with Throes of the Watchmaker DLC.

If you’re still on the fence about the game, go read our review here, where we state, “Sea of Stars will take any seasoned gamer back to a simpler times, when the games were colorful, flat, and lengthy. If you want a turn-based RPG that is easy to pick up and yet quite challenging, then you’ll want to check out Sea of Stars.”
