Overview

  • Closed alpha runs February 5–12 on PC via Steam, with applications accepted through January 23 via X, Steam, Discord, and Reddit questionnaires.
  • Developers say slots are extremely limited, selected participants will be notified directly, and coverage will not be under NDA according to recent reports.
  • The new gameplay trailer runs just under six minutes on the official YouTube channel and surpassed 1.3 million views in under 12 hours.
  • Sea of Remnants is a free-to-play ocean-fantasy RPG featuring real-time naval combat, turn-based on-foot battles, a dynamic Orbtopia hub, and over 300 recruitable companions, plus minigames like mahjong and drinking contests.
  • Platform details remain fluid, with 2026 releases referenced for PC and PS5 and inconsistent mentions of mobile, while the game’s multiplayer status is still unclear due to conflicting Steam labels and 'server space' language in test notices.
