Publisher NetEase Games and developer Joker Studio have announced the first closed alpha test for open-world ocean fantasy RPG, Sea of Remnants, which will begin on February 5th. Additionally, the team shared a lengthy new look at gameplay footage and there is a lot to unpack here.
The new trailer starts out looking reminiscent of Sea of Thieves, if I’m being honest (which isn’t a bad thing), before revealing that it is far more than a mere clone of Microsoft’s pirate RPG. In a brisk five minutes, Sea of Remnants showed off a kraken fight, a bonfire dance party, island homestead building, naval combat, character customization, drinking games, mahjong, action RPG-style melee combat, environmental puzzles, loot mechanics, crew customization, boat races, food preparation, firework shows, a concert, and…shooting fish out of the sky. I guess that’s a little more difficult that shooting them in a barrel. Not to mention, the main character guy looks like Billy Butcherson from Hocus Pocus.
Whatever the heck this game is (a lot, apparently), I’m all about it. If you’re just as intrigued as I am, you can sign-up for the closed alpha test by liking the official trailer post on Sea of Remnants' social media, or joining the official Discord server. But you only have until January 23rd to sign-up, so act fast.
Sea of Remnants launches this year for PlayStation 5 and PC.
