wo of us stand, stranded on a small island
in the middle of a raging thunderstorm. The
pouring rain is thrashing about in the wind as
we guard five chests brimming with gold. Our
galleon is circling the island, but poor visibility
and crashing waves are making it difficult for
our captain to find the island, and we only
have five minutes left to cash-in our treasure.
With hope ticking away by the second, we ask
ourselves, how did it go so horribly wrong?
Since its release, Sea Of Thieves has been
a game about people coming together and
creating their own stories. In the past year
there has been a steady release of content
that added new ways to play and things
to do, which stays true to that core vision.
The Hungering Deep added a new threat in
the world with the Megalodon, Cursed Sails
brought AI-controlled skeleton ships to battle
on the waves. The Forsaken Shores increased
the size of the map adding The Devil’s Roar,
a whole new area to explore, and Shrouded
Spoils put a little bow on all of that by bringing
fog into the game and changing up the way
you play. The game has come a long way in
such a short amount of time, but now with the
recent release of its Anniversary update, Sea
Of Thieves has changed more than ever.
The Arena adds a PVP mode, which is
separate from the main game and is now
called ‘Adventure’, in which players gather
gold to become top of the leaderboard.
