Last week we showed a new dungeon to journalists while answering their questions about Sea of Stars.
Many media outlets answered our call to attend the hands-off preview presented by Thierry, and we’re thrilled to finally share their impressions with the community.
It was truly humbling to see them express in their own words what essentially boils down to what our vision has been all along. Nothing can feel more special for our team than seeing such a reaction from fresh eyes looking at our game, especially as we buckle up for the final year of production.

THE PRESS PREVIEW FEATURED A NEW DUNGEON: THE WIZARD LAB
Journalists were shown around 20 minutes of gameplay from a quest and a new dungeon involving pirates, the port town of Brisk and mysterious arcane ruins known as the "Abandoned Wizard's Lab" which included puzzles, illusions, enchanted enemies, and fishing.
Even though it didn't reveal critical story beats that would spoil later events in the game, we will be keeping most of the demo's content under wraps, as we know a lot of you would rather experience the game with as little knowledge as possible beforehand. Some of the articles do go in full detail about the preview though, so feel free to read or skip them at your convenience.
Otherwise, on a true spoiler-free note, it was revealed that Chrono Trigger composer Yasunori Mitsuda will contribute around 10 tracks to the game!
Here are a few screenshots taken from the preview:
