The time has come: Throes of the Watchmaker — the free DLC for Sea of Stars — is out now!

We spent nearly two incredible years crafting this free DLC as a heartfelt thank-you to our fans. Your support made it possible, and we hope this bonus final adventure for Sea of Stars will bring you joy.

If you want to help in bringing more eyeballs to this circus-themed romp, the best way is always to leave a comment on the trailer on YouTube, and share [our posts] on social media.

How To Access The DLC?

  1. The DLC is not included as an automatic update. To get started, you’ll need to manually download it from Steam or your console’s storefront.

  2. Throes of the Watchmaker is a post-game adventure, so you must open up a save file where you have rolled the end credits at least once to unlock access.

  3. After meeting the requirement above, return to the world map in-game. You’ll receive a new prompt via a message-in-a-bottle: It’s a message from Hortence urging you to return to the Vespertine and check on Keenathan.

When prompted with: “Hortence sounds really worried. Should we visit the crew right now?” Choose Yes to continue.

  1. You’ll be transported to the top deck of the Vespertine. Head below deck and speak with the pirate crew to officially begin the Throes of the Watchmaker side-adventure.

  2. Malevolent spectacle awaits!

Italian Localization

Great news for our Italian friends!

Italian localization is now available for both the Sea of Stars main adventure and the free DLC.

Alright, Time to Play Now!

This release marks the full realization of everything we set out to build — first with Dawn of Equinox, and now with this DLC. What a journey it’s been over the last few years! We’re incredibly grateful for your support at every step of the way.

We hope that this farewell letter to our dream project will bring you joy, and that you will allow it to tell you one last time, from all of us: THANK YOU!

All the love, -SaboTeam
