You may remember Sea of Remnants from a State of Play last year; it was one of the more intriguing games announced during the show.

Coming from NetEase and Joker Studio, Sea of Remnants is a free-to-play pirate RPG adventure set in a stylised world inhabited by wooden puppets.

Its latest trailer is here, and the game continues to look crazy ambitious and super stylish:

It's difficult to explain the game in a nutshell. There's a hub pirate town called Orbtopia that you're free to explore, and it contains all sorts of minigames and activities, like mahjong and drinking games.

However, there's also real-time nautical battles in which you use your ship's firepower to fend off rival vessels and sea monsters.

On top of that, we also know the game features turn-based battles while on-foot, and you'll need to assemble a crew that'll join you in fights and as you sail the seas.

If you're curious to see how this all plays out moment to moment (we certainly are), a closed alpha test is being held next month, though sadly only on PC via Steam.

Running from 5th to 12th February, you have from now until 23rd January to register your interest. You can do so by engaging with the game's social channels, or by joining the Discord and answering a questionnaire.
