The pirate multiplayer game shown at E3 “Sea of Thieves” is said to be the best thing the cult studio Rare has ever made, at least if Microsoft is to be believed.
The development studio Rare had a partnership with Nintendo in the 90s. This period is where the studio gained its excellent reputation. Especially 007 Golden Eye on the Nintendo64 is considered a true masterpiece of the era. The first-person shooter has shaped the genre until today.
But those times are long gone, in 2002 Microsoft bought the Brits from Rare and has since then let them develop mainly for the Xbox and its successors. There have not been any real hits since then. That is supposed to change with the pirate multiplayer adventure “Sea of Thieves”.
A representative from Microsoft, Kuno Tsunoada, the mind behind Kinect, has expressed confidence that Sea of Thieves will be the best game Rare has ever made. The game should thrive on the emotions players develop during the story. That is precisely the strength of the development studio. In this direction, they want to continue to apply their efforts. And Sea of Thieves will be the best game Rare has ever developed.
There is still very little known about “Sea of Thieves” at this point, this trailer was shown at E3:
