Chrono Trigger composer Yasunori Mitsuda to return for Sea of Stars DLC soundtrack   

Yasunori Mitsuda, known for his musical compositions in the Chrono and Xeno series as well as other games and anime, announced on his company website that he would collaborate once again with Sabotage Studio on the soundtrack for the upcoming Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker DLC, set to launch in 2025. 

Mitsuda previously worked with the Canadian game studio to compose several tracks featured in Sea of Stars. The 2023 retro-style RPG is heavily inspired by classics of the 90’s, including Chrono Trigger, for which Mitsuda composed most of the music. 

In a promotional video recorded for Sabotage Studio, Mitsuda said that he was “a big fan of their previous work, The Messenger,” and that he couldn’t believe that they wanted him to join the project. Both Mitsuda and Eric Brown, the main composer of Sea of Stars, strove to create a cohesive soundtrack while also cultivating Mitsuda’s trademark style of music, including tracks that hearkened back to the sounds of the SNES. Sea of Stars went on to earn a slew of accolades including recognition for the collaborative musical efforts on the game’s soundtrack. 

Throes of the Watchmaker is slated for release in the spring of 2025 as free DLC for Sea of Stars, available now on Steam for Windows and the Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, PS4PS5, and Xbox Series One and X|S.
