During the latest PlayStation State of Play, NetEase Games and Joker Studio unveiled Sea of Remnants, a visually striking free-to-play ocean adventure RPG set to launch in 2026 for PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android. The game blends open-world exploration, turn-based tactics, and real-time naval battles with a deep story driven by player choice.
Shape the World Through Choice and Consequence
In Sea of Remnants, players take on the role of a puppet-like sailor who wakes up without any memory. Guided by a mysterious girl, they’ll sail through uncharted seas, discover lost islands, and uncover the secrets of the ever-evolving city of Orbtopia. Along the way, you’ll build a crew of puppetfolk allies and engage in a narrative-driven journey filled with choices that impact the world’s fate.
Over 300 characters await across multiple factions, each with unique personalities and motivations. How you interact with them—whether as friends, foes, or something in between—will ripple throughout the game world, altering storylines and shifting political power.
Naval Warfare, Island Strategy, and Portside Leisure
Gameplay in Sea of Remnants spans multiple systems, from high-stakes real-time naval battles to strategic turn-based combat on land. Customize your modular ship, unlock new crew abilities, and explore mythical sea creatures, drifting ghost ships, and underwater ruins in a vibrant open world.
Back at port, players can take part in fishing, cook hotpot, relax with a round of mahjong, or uncover new side quests in the living city of Orbtopia—complete with a dynamic layout that evolves based on your actions.
A Living Ocean World Awaits
According to Joker Studio Product Lead Sylar Pan, Sea of Remnants is designed around meaningful agency: “Every action can trigger surprising and far-reaching consequences. We’re excited to see the stories players will create when they finally set sail.”
Whether you’re building your dream crew, toppling rival factions, or relaxing with a bowl of stew after a sea monster encounter, Sea of Remnants aims to give players the freedom to define their legend.
Sea of Remnants launches in 2026 on PS5, PC, iOS, and Android. You can wishlist it now on the PlayStation Store and Steam. For more info, visit seaofremnants.com or follow the game on Discord, X, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitch.
