Anticipation has been building since its announcement on March 20th, the anniversary of the game's release, with three livestreams from developer Rare throughout April showcasing each of the key additions.

Sea of Thieves Content Update: The Arena

Glory awaits in The Arena, a brand new game mode for Sea of Thieves that allows players to dive straight into an on-demand competitive experience distinct from the existing Adventure. Enjoy action-focused encounters with other crews, battling for silver, glory and special rewards! Between matches, share a grog with your rivals in the tavern run by the new Sea Dogs Trading Company. There's no better place to earn bragging rights than in a true contest of pirating prowess.

Sea of Thieves Content Update: The Hunter's Call

Pirates who work up an appetite from all this new activity will be glad to acquaint themselves with The Hunter's Call, another new Trading Company that enables and encourages hunting, fishing and cooking. This brings a challenging and rewarding new fishing system into Sea of Thieves, allowing pirates to master the art and cook up their catches. Meat can also be acquired by hunting, and whether it's fish, chicken or the meat of a legendary Kraken, you can either eat the results for health gains or present them to The Hunter's Call for gold and acclaim.

Meanwhile, the most engaging tales are still waiting to be told in Shores of Gold, a set of interconnected narrative-driven adventures upon which all pirates can embark, following a story filled with wonder, mystery and discovery. The world comes to life in vibrant focus as you encounter characters old and new, not to mention the deadliest undead foes you've faced so far. Bring your brains as well as your brawn, as these Tall Tales are packed with traps, twists and puzzles.

All these features and more - such as the often-hilarious harpoon gun, and expanded ship damage that can land a crew in serious peril - are free for all Sea of Thieves players to enjoy, including those playing the game through Game Pass. This huge update promises to add many more layers to the game and fulfil many of the wishes of its fanbase.
