Now bring me that horizon
Sea of Thieveslaunched itsPirates of the Caribbean-themed crossoverA Pirate’s Lifein late June. And now, just over a month later, Rare has announced just how many scallywags it brought to the ship.
In ablog post,Sea of Thievesexecutive producer Joe Neate said that players were sharing reactions, fan art, and stories about exploring the new Tall Tales, and all the excitement from the launch ofA Pirate’s Liferesulted in the game’s busiest month ever. In June,Sea of Thievessaw 4.8 million active players setting out for tales and treasure.
“To all of you who’ve recently cast off for the very first time, jumped back in after a break or simply never stepped away from your regular Voyages, thank you from all of us,” wrote Neate. “And we hope thatSea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life(and the surprise of its unveiling!) was everything you could have wanted from a crossover on this scale.”
There are still more updates on the horizon, however. The August update is set to make more improvements, as Rare continues to fine-tuneSea of Thievesacross the board. There will also be a Gold & Glory Weekend on Aug. 20 through 23, offering double gold and reputation alongside Seasonal Renown boosts for all treasure turned in.
There’s also a new set of Disney’sPirates of the Caribbeancosmetics coming to the Pirate Emporium, too, as part of the August update. You can turn your ship into the Cursed Ferryman, get a Davy Jones Cursed Costume Set, or get a Condemned Captain Monkey pet. Yes, you too can have a cursed pet accompany you on the high seas, towards plunder and danger alike.
Anecdotally, I saw a lot of friends get back intoSea of Thievesaround the time ofA Pirate’s Life. It doesn’t hurt that it’s free to hop into, either. Maybe I’ll give the seafaring life another try.
