Ahead of the digital launch of the retro-inspired RPG Sea of Stars, physical distributor 'iam8bit' and Sabotage Studio have announced a hard copy version is coming to the Nintendo Switch. The catch is you're going to have to hold out until next year.

While the digital version will be released at the end of this month on 29th August, the physical version won't arrive until "early 2024".
