Sea of Stars’ Free Throes of the Watchmaker DLC Gains Release Date – New Trailer Samples an Encore Eight Hour Adventure with a New Playable Character, Enthralling Locale and More

Return to the award-winning, 6 million+ player RPG for the Solstice Warriors’ all-new journey

QUEBEC CITY (April 30, 2025) – Sea of Stars developer and publisher Sabotage Studio today confirmed the launch date for Throes of the Watchmaker, a free, entirely new quest that reunites protagonists Zale and Valere for an exciting new challenge. Join the Solstice Warriors once again when Throes of the Watchmaker arrives May 20 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1244090/Sea_of_Stars/)

Throes of the Watchmaker returns to one of the most intriguing characters encountered in Sea of Stars’ main adventure – the genius inventor known as the Watchmaker, architect of the Clockwork Castle and creator of Wheels, a tabletop pastime enjoyed throughout Sea of Stars’ world. The DLC explores a fascinating invention by the Watchmaker, the miniature clockwork world of Horloge, a land threatened by a cursed carnival. Zale and Valere must adapt to Horloge’s peculiar rules to fully realize their mastery of Sun and Moon powers, the abilities they’ve refined since the beginning of Sea of Stars’ central journey to stop the Fleshmancer with Eclipse Magic.

Malevolent spectacle awaits – watch Throes of the Watchmaker’s release date trailer.

This post-game bonus adventure DLC is designed around a self-contained progression loop featuring completely new classes, skills and combos to master for Zale, who trades his signature sword to become a skillful juggler, and Valere, who sets aside her trusty staff to dazzle as an acrobat. Throughout Throes of the Watchmaker, the duo fights alongside a new playable party member in Artificer, a mechanized, laser-wielding sharpshot.

Throes of the Watchmaker features never-before-seen areas, puzzles and enemies throughout a compelling storyline wholly unique from Sea of Stars’ core adventure. Throes of the Watchmaker‘s cinematic budget is equivalent to that of the main game, allowing Sabotage to richly realize key narrative moments and deliver a dense, delightful new tale spanning eight hours of new content. Crafted as a quest to enjoy after completing Sea of Stars’ critical path, Throes of the Watchmaker is the perfect reason to begin a New Game+ playthrough or dive into the world of Sea of Stars for the first time ahead of this all-new journey arrives on May 20.

A stirring new score from Sea of Stars’ Lead Composer, Eric W. Brown, accents the journey, with additional original songs composed in collaboration with Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger) who returns as a guest composer.

Released to critical praise from media and millions of fans before being recognized with accolades including Best Independent Game at The Game Awards, Sea of Stars is available across PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One for $34.99. Throes of the Watchmaker follows Dawn of Equinox, a separate free update which added local co-op, combat refinements and more to Sea of Stars’ celebrated campaign.

Rogue AI Has Taken Over Earth to Save the Planet From Climate Change. Four Outer Space Ninja Cheerleaders Take it Back This Summer When Ra Ra BOOM Smashes Into PC & Consoles

Pom-poms Have Never Been This Deadly: Frenetic and Vibrant 2D Sidescroller Ra Ra BOOM Explores a Colorful Coming of Age Story Set to the Sound of Cracking Robot Skulls and Good Ol’ Fashion Pew-Pew and Boom-Boom Also, sick beats.

Cincinnati, Ohio (April 30, 2025) – Earth has been taken. A dutiful AI created to solve climate change has gone rogue, targeting the very civilians it was supposed to save. Only Aris, Saida, Ren and Vee, four teenage ninja cheerleaders from space, highly skilled in the art of ranged and melee combat, can get to Earth and reclaim the planet. They’ve been training their entire lives for this moment – and the moment is almost here. This is Ra Ra BOOM and it hits hard on PC, Xbox and PlayStation in August: https://linktr.ee/raraBOOM

This is not your average beat ‘em up. Ra Ra BOOM cooks with turbo-charged four-player co-op action, blending classic beat ‘em up gameplay with ranged combat in a lane-based 2D sidescroller. Today’s incredibly badass new trailer showcases the latest look at some of the game’s action – from enemies and bosses hellbent on keeping Earth under their control to our heroic cheerleaders from outer space who definitely aren’t going down without a fight:

Woven throughout this action-packed game is a surprisingly narrative-rich campaign, complete with 2D cinematic cutscenes in which each of our heroes experiences their own character arcs – anyone who has ever been a teenager can relate, even if they’ve never had to save the planet. Turns out that facing your demons might be harder than saving the planet. 

In Ra Ra BOOM, each playable character also sports their own weapons and abilities, giving you four completely different, explosive takes on combat that, through a progression system, you can level up and gain new abilities and skills. Augmenting traditional beat ’em up gameplay with its unique integrated lane system, Ra Ra BOOM blends horizontal lanes naturally into its hand-drawn environments. Players are able to hone their skills in melee or ranged combat to deal furious blows, quickly switching between clearly defined lanes to never miss a beat, no matter which play style you prefer. 

Ra Ra BOOM’s killer soundtrack doesn’t miss a beat either – with a non-stop score of heart-pounding, rock-tinged beats courtesy of DJ duo Toy District, made up of Gylee Games CEO Bergs and partner Dreweybear. Ra Ra BOOM keeps both the energy and the BPM sky high.

Roguelite Deckbuilder ‘Journey to the Void’ Releases Playable Demo on Steam 

Developer RuneHeads shows its hand, reveals tower-defense twist on the popular genre

Milan, Italy (April 30, 2025) – Award-winning indie developer RuneHeads is delighted to place its cards on the table, as it releases a playable demo on Steam for its upcoming roguelite deckbuilder, Journey to the Void. The demo should give players a taste of its card-battling goodness ahead of the full game’s release later this summer.

Your world is being corrupted and there is darkness and devastation rampant in each of the disparate elemental regions. Choose from an endless number of procedurally generated heroes, select your starting location, and begin your run, going headfirst and headstrong into battle to decide the fate of your world. With heroes having positive and negative traits that can nerf or buff you and locations offering region-exclusive cards, strategy comes into play right from the very beginning.

Across 25 unique arenas and eight different biomes, you’ll strategically play with more than 300 cards, items and weapons. Stack attacks, wield the elements present in that region, and unleash devastating game-changing abilities to take down more than 100 different enemy types, including 10 bosses, in grid-based arenas. 

Need to put a bit of pep in your deckbuilding step? Shape your hero into a powerful warrior by using XP earned in battle to improve their stats across Constitution, Strength, Resonance and Intelligence, according to your strategy. In Journey to the Void, you’ll also encounter fine merchants selling trinkets, items, and weapons – including those of dazzling rarity – for your hero to equip.

Offering an additional twist on the genre, Journey to the Void also features moral decisions which can affect your current and future runs. In more than 100 possible interactions, you have the ability to permanently alter a region, with terrible or tremendous consequences. 

In the demo, two biomes, five arenas,  50+ cards and items, 40+ enemies (including two bosses), and 40+ narrative decisions are available.

Key Features of Journey to the Void

  • Holding Out for a Hero: With an infinite number of procedurally generated playable heroes, you’ll choose a new one each run to make for a unique playthrough. With buffs and nerfs like being Adamant (more base physical damage) or Unfriendly (trading is more expensive), the strategic gameplay begins before you even start your run.
  • Journey to the Stat Screen: Min/max to your heart’s content with light RPG elements, levelling up your hero and building their stats to support your playstyle.
  • Battling the Elements: More than being background decoration, the game’s eight different elemental biomes affect the way certain cards and abilities play. From scorching firelands to the frozen tundra, you’ll need to build your deck to make the most of the conditions.

Journey to the Void will be released on PC via Steam. A playable demo is now available.

About RuneHeads

RuneHeads is an award-winning indie game studio based in Milan. RuneHeads was founded in 2017 by industry veterans. Since then, they have launched Fall of Light and Conglomerate 451, their latest game Journey to the Void is set to launch in 2025.
