Sea of Remnants Closed Beta Starts December 3 With 21 Playable Characters

NetEase’s Joker Studio has set the Sea of Remnants closed beta for Thursday, December 3, with pre-downloads opening December 1. Access will be first-come, first-served once the test goes live, though players who miss the initial window can still receive an invite by email after pre-registering or signing up for a NetEase Pass.

The beta will include 21 characters, including the Traveler, who acts as the player’s avatar. Joker Studio describes this as a non-paying test, so characters across different rarities are expected to be available without spending during the beta period.

This build also adds two new areas, the White Sea and the Bridge Sea, each with main quests and roaming quests. Players will also get two new starter ships, easier character progression, and added voiceover languages, including English.

One of the bigger endgame-style additions is Peril Theatre, a high-difficulty challenge built around team composition and strategy. Multiplayer will be present, but only in a limited form for now, through matchmaking in two minigames. Joker Studio says broader multiplayer features are planned after launch, with the goal of supporting larger shared pirate activities later on.
