Overview

  • Sabotage Studio released Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition as the game's final content update on June 8, 2026, marking the end of active development for the title.
  • The Sunset Edition adds a high-budget animated opening, expands a key in-game flashback with new sprite scenes, and rebalances Normal and Hard modes by splitting the Tactician’s Mettle relic into two items.
  • A dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version went live the same day with GameShare support for up to three-player local co-op and the ability to import save files from Switch 1 copies.
