Sea of Remnants sets December 3 beta with PS5 and Xbox Series X access

NetEase Games has set a date for the next Sea of Remnants closed beta. Dawnbreaker opens December 3 at 4 p.m. Pacific, or midnight UTC on December 4. PS5 and Xbox Series X join testing for the first time. You can also play on PC through a dedicated launcher, on iOS through TestFlight or on Android.

How to get into the beta

Pre-download starts December 1 at 12:00 UTC. Slots are limited and go to players in the order they log in, so downloading early gets you ready but doesn’t reserve a place. If you get in, you’ll have 21 playable characters to try, two starting ships with different combat styles, and a tougher challenge called Peril Theatre.

More places to sail, with multiplayer still evolving

The test adds the White Sea and Bridge Sea, along with Journey and Roaming quests. Players choose between Fireworks Wanderer and Drift Bottle as their starting ship; each offers a different approach to naval combat. Beyond battles, Lucky Duel and Goose Chess provide smaller activities, with matchmaking limited to players on the same server.

This is still a development test, not the finished shared-world experience. Joker Studio says broader multiplayer systems will roll out progressively after launch. For now, the December build is a chance to explore the expanded seas and test its turn-based, roguelike battles.
