Trailer:
As players traverse the vast universe, they must rebuild civilization on the back of a colossal space whale named Kiwa. For small creatures like Pip, survival depends on learning to coexist with—and even care for—this unfamiliar living vessel now known as home. As industry expands, they must balance growing technological demands with the genuine needs of their interstellar companion.
Roam the cosmos, uncover ancient secrets, and build a brand-new society. Unlock advanced technologies, balance supply and demand through complex production chains and interstellar trade, and strive to return home. Transform Kiwa's fragile ecosystem and establish outposts on planets rich in alien resources to meet the ever-changing needs of this civilization adrift in the mysterious void.
The game features English as the source language and supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Czech, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.
Sea of Stars is now available on PC via Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store for ¥99, and is playable through PC Game Pass. A 20% launch discount will be active for two weeks.
