Arrival of co-op gameplay and combat improvements

One of the main new features of this update is the new local co-op system, which allows up to three players to explore the world of Sea of ​​Stars together. They will be able to work together to master the new Timed Hits combat mechanic, where precision and timing of actions in combat are crucial to success.

The arrival of a co-op mode brings a new form of fun to the game, mainly by allowing friends and family to enjoy the title together on a journey as solstice warriors. For now, there is still no prediction as to whether this gameplay will be online in the future or not.

In terms of combat, the update brings the arrival of Mystery Locks, a mechanic that challenges players to discover how to break enemy spells when encountering them on the battlefield.

In addition, the characters’ special abilities system also gained new features, with the addition of “Reveal” functions, which increases the strategic depth of battles. Another significant change is that Combo Points now remain after the battle, providing new ways to prepare for the next confrontation or to test different types of damage against enemies to reveal their weaknesses.

Sea of ​​Stars will have changes to the prologue and a new scene

With the update, the prologue has also been completely redesigned. Now, the beginning of the story focuses on the young versions of the heroes, showing a more active and engaging introduction, without needing to use flashbacks. This change comes as a way to give more dynamics to the beginning of the adventure, allowing players to jump right into the action from the beginning.

Furthermore, the update includes a new cinematic scene, titled “Paths on Water”, which aims to bring more emotional and narrative depth to the game, showing an important moment in the original plot.

For fans who love challenges, the update brings a Speedrunner Mode Relic, which offers a number of useful features for those looking to set new records, whether personally or globally.

Game gains more difficulty options

And for those who want to test their skills, the update also brings 3 difficulty options to the game when starting a new game, so players can choose depending on their skills or even if they just want an easier game.

In terms of customization, the news is the arrival of new relics for more options. The Relic Parrot itself, which helps players search for secrets and collectibles, has also been improved, so it’s now even more useful.

For players in Quebec, great news is the game’s full localization into Canadian French, ensuring the experience is even more accessible for the region’s French-speaking audience. Additionally, a series of quality of life improvements have been implemented, encompassing the entire campaign and making the game more fluid and enjoyable.

Finally, the game also has DLC that will be released in 2025

Along with the Dawn of Equinox update, players should also keep an eye out for the release of the Throes of the Watchmaker DLC, which is slated for spring 2025, promising even more content to expand the Sea of ​​Stars universe.

Sea of ​​Stars, released on August 29, 2023, is now available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Steam. If you’re still in doubt, Caitlin Argyros’ review highlights the work as a touching tribute to the great RPG classics, an unmissable experience for any fan of the genre.

With all these new features, the Sea of ​​Stars journey has never been so immersive and fun. Gather your friends, get ready to explore this fascinating world, and make the most of everything Dawn of Equinox has to offer.
