- June 8 listings on Japan’s eShop show Sea of Stars arriving on Switch 2 for 4,400 yen, bundled with the Throes of the Watchmaker DLC.
- The store page labels it Switch 2-exclusive software and says save data from the original Switch version is not compatible.
- That also points to no free upgrade path for existing Switch owners, who would need to buy the new version separately.
- The move expands Sabotage Studio’s RPG to Nintendo’s new hardware, with a broader release outside Japan still unconfirmed.
