The highly anticipated game Sea of Remnants was presented in 2025 during a NetEase Games event, capturing attention with its open-world pirate concept, wrapped in a cartoon aesthetic. This title, developed by Joker Studio, moves away from multiplayer experiences like Sea of Thieves, focusing on a solid narrative and a turn-based combat system, similar to titles like Persona.
We’re going to have a blast
The closed beta of the game, which will start on February 5, 2026, has generated great anticipation among fans. The registration period, which will take place from January 8 to 23, will be quite selective. Interested parties will be able to register through a lottery on social media or via the official page, although it is expected that the process will be complicated for many.
Sea of Remnants will offer a single-player experience, where navigators venture into the Sea of Oblivion, seeking to recover fragments of their lost memory. With an extensive oceanic world to explore, players will face battles both on land and at sea, as well as participate in various mini-games that will enhance the atmosphere of pirate life.
One of the highlights of the game is its turn-based tactical combat system, which promises to offer a smooth attack dynamic and well-designed animations. Although some encounters will include real-time actions against low-level enemies, the main focus will be on strategy during battles.
This project has been well received by the community, although we still do not know many more details about its release. Sea of Remnants is expected to be available throughout 2026, offering players a new way to experience pirate life from a narrative and immersive perspective.
