Sabotage Studio stood out in 2018 with the metroidvania retro The Messengerbut last year, the Quebec team did very well by releasing Sea of Stars independently, an old-fashioned, turn-based role-playing game. A title which obtained excellent marks and even the prize of Best Indie Game to Game Awards 2023 as well as in our columns.
Sea of Stars benefited from a launch boosted by its presence day one in the PC/Xbox Game Pass as well as in the PlayStation Plus Extra And Premiumbut there is a problem : it is only available in digital format on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch, enough to put off players who prefer physical editions, especially since the subject is in the news at the moment. Fortunately, iam8bit comes to the rescue!
iam8bit just announced two physical editions for Sea of Stars on PlayStation, Xbox and Switch. The first will be a standard edition with the game, a double-sided poster with artwork drawn by Bryce Kho, pre-orders even allow you to obtain the digital soundtrack. A Exclusive Edition is also announced with the game, its manual, a sheath, an exclusive poster with a artwork unreleased game map, digital soundtrack and stickers.
The standard edition of Sea of Stars will be available on the site of iam8bit next May 10but also at certain resellers. For’Exclusive Editionit will be necessary to turn to iam8bit Or Black Screen Recordswhich will distribute this version in Europe, then wait until the second quarter of 2024. Both resellers will also launch during the third quarter of 2024 the Sea of Stars soundtrack on vinylan edition 2LP with solar orange and lunar blue discs.
