A visually striking free-to-play pirate RPG, Sea of Remnants, has been announced for a 2026 release. Developed by Joker Studio and published by NetEase Games, the game promises an immersive oceanic adventure with deep customization, combat, and exploration. Players can expect multiple combat modes, dynamic weather, faction interactions, and a unique bond system.

The game was unveiled during the PlayStation State of Play event, where it stood out among other highly anticipated titles like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Pirate games have long been a staple in the gaming industry, evolving with technological advancements. While Sea of Thieves currently dominates the multiplayer pirate adventure genre, Sea of Remnants aims to carve its own niche with a fresh take on the theme.

Players assume the role of an amnesiac sailor embarking on a journey to reclaim lost memories. Key gameplay elements include:

• Ship-Building & Crew Recruitment: Customize your vessel and assemble a loyal crew.
• Dynamic Factions: Over 300 companions and rival factions react to player choices.
• Orbtopia: A bustling pirate city where players can upgrade gear, repair ships, and even start businesses.
• Combat Modes: Engage in real-time raids, boss battles, and close-quarters duels.

The game's trailer showcased its vibrant open world, blending stylized animation with a sharp comic-book aesthetic.

Sea of Remnants will launch in 2026 on PlayStation 5, PC (via Steam), iOS, and Android. Fans of pirate adventures should keep an eye on this title as development progresses.
