During the State of Play today, developer Joker Studio revealed a new game for PS5, Sea of Remnants. “While you might find familiar tags to explain the gameplay within such as “ocean adventure RPG / simulation / survival building / turn-based strategy”, we’d rather introduce it with this single line: “This is an infinite voyage looping between death and rebirth—a journey where we row forward, tirelessly, only to return to where it all began,” SylarPan, Joker Studio Product Lead, NetEase Games.
In Sea of Remnants, players will take on the role of amnesiac sailor who sets off on a voyage alongside a mysterious girl – two travelers with different goals yet bound to the same path across the sea. The goal is to reach the long-rumored, deeply cursed Sea of Remnants—a place said to hold endless riches and renown. But those who fall into its waves… lose the very talents they once held most dear. Memories from long-lost sailors form the very fabric of the Sea of Remnants, creating its glowing magenta currents, islands, sea monster lairs—and the destinies of those who sail through them.
Players will upgrade their ship, build their fleet, set sail into the unknown, and return to Orbtopia, the liveliset “pirate city” in the world.
One of the most unique things about Sea of Remnants is its art style which was to evoke the look and feel of puppetfolk. . All brought to life with vivid colors, expressive emotions and puppet-like bodily traits.
Sea of Remnants is set to release in 2026.
