Sabotage havechristenedthe incoming Sea of Stars multiplayer as “Single Player+”, so named because it will essentially be the original single-player story with localco-opadded on top. (While it’s local-only, you could presumably play onlineusing Steam Remote Play Together.)
A brief teaser video shows battle-chef buddy Garl and Solstice Warriors Valere and Zale - who serve as the main selectable characters for lone players to choose from - running around freely together in one of the game’s pixel-art environments, rather than dutifully trailing each other in a conga line.

We don’t know when Sea of Stars’ co-op will arrive just yet, with Sabotage revealing that the multiplayer mode was in development as part of celebrating the RPG passing the five-million player count,having shifted 100,000 copies on its release day. Honestly, though, the idea of playing Sea of Stars with friends somehow perfects a game that was pretty much already perfect for me (and gives me lovely nostalgia forFinal Fantasy 9’s hidden multiplayer option).
