Sabotage Studio has just shared a release date and a few more details about Sea of Stars' upcoming DLC, Throes of the Watchmaker.

The add-on, which will be made available for free to all players, comes to PS5 and PS4 on 20th May, 2025.

As the DLC's title suggests, this post-story adventure revolves around the Watchmaker, the character who invented the in-game board game Wheels and constructed the Clockwork Castle.

Zale and Valere travel to a miniature clockwork world called Horloge, which is under threat from a mysterious, cursed carnival.

The two lead characters each receive a new class while in this world; Zale becomes a juggler, and Valere an acrobat. These new classes give each of them new attacks and combos, so veteran players can't rely on old tactics.

The pair is joined by a third, newly playable character, Artificer, who you may remember from the main campaign.

Throes of the Watchmaker is a quest that amounts to about eight hours of new stuff, including a fresh setting and characters, a standalone story with cinematic cutscenes, and new music from returning composer Eric W. Brown. Yasunori Mitsuda also comes back as a guest composer for the DLC.

If you're a fan of the original game, it looks like this is simply more of it, though the fresh gameplay will give this its own unique flavour. Again, it's free, so jumping back in is a no-brainer.

We're excited to revisit this neat fantasy world, but what do you think? Will you be returning to play Throes of the Watchmaker? Take your time in the comments section below.
