The Sea of Remnants Pirate Adventure Team Talked About the Game
In 2026, Joker Studio, known for the Identity V project, will release a new game — Sea of Remnants. This is an adventure game set in a pirate setting with turn-based battles and open world exploration. The main character is a doll who has lost their memory and ended up on a mysterious island. Accompanying them on their journey is the enigmatic companion R.S., and the story revolves around decision-making that affects the fates of the characters.
Ahead of the release, the developers gave an interview to the Japanese portal Automaton media. They shared that the new game is not a sequel to Identity V, although both studios share an interest in the theme of memory. In Sea of Remnants, the team focuses on an atmosphere of freedom and the romance of piracy, avoiding dark tones. Visually, this is emphasized with a bright palette, where the main accent is a pink-red color — a symbol of memories and passion.
The music in the game was created at early stages of development to enhance emotional immersion. Special attention is paid to the characters: the game will feature hundreds of NPCs, each with their own backstory that can influence events in the world. The core mechanic is linked to the ability to "restart" the story of a specific hero to change the consequences of a choice made. This allows experimenting with the plot development and returning to key moments without losing progress in world exploration.
