Today developers and publishers shared more gaming news, showcasing upcomibg games and relevant updates.

Like every day, here at SimulationDaily, we post a roundup with more gaming news that couldn’t be covered in individual articles, to keep you up to date with the work and games from a wider variety of developers than we otherwise could.

Before we get into it, here’s a series of handy links to the gaming news that did get their own separate coverage.

Incidentally, if you’re interested in news specifically about flight simulation, we have a dedicated roundup.

Sea of Stars Developers Show Massive Dawn of Equinox Update

The developers of Sea of Stars at Sabotage Studios showcased the massive update “Dawn of Equinox” coming for their popular RPG,

It’ll release on November 12, and will include the following, directly from the lion’s mouth.

  • 3 Player Local Co-op: Sea of Stars’ story will be playable in its entirety by up to three players, with allies traversing the world together and mastering a new Co-op Timed Hits combat mechanic. What was initially presented as a very limited “Single Player +” mode has evolved into a full-fledged Co-op experience.
  • Combat 2.0: The addition of Mystery Locks brings a new gameplay loop around revealing the ways to break the spells of new enemies entering the fray. Along with “Reveal” functions added to some of the special skills, Combo Points now remain after battle, offering new ways to open certain encounters, or test different damage types on enemies to reveal their locks. A comprehensive balancing pass has also been done to reflect both these new changes and player feedback since launch.
  • A revamped prologue: Implementing combat for the young versions of our heroes, the updated flow does away with the flashback structure to begin in their childhood directly including action in the prologue.
  • Bonus Cinematic Scene: An entirely new cutscene has been added to accentuate a pivotal moment in the original adventure, referred to as “Paths on Water”.
  • A Speedrunner Mode Relic: This new item activates a range of features helpful for those looking to set a new personal best or world record.
  • Difficulty Presets: Three difficulty options are now available when starting a new game, which are presets using the game’s Relics. New Relics have also been added, both for quality of life and difficulty adjustments.
  • Improved Parrot Relic: Sea of Stars’ secret-tracking parrot has learned a few new tricks to better assist players tracking down overlooked challenges and collectibles.

A French Canadian localization will also be included.
