The big “Anniversary Update” for the pirate online game Sea of Thieves will be released in April. Among other things, the Arena PvP mode will make its way into the game. However, players are particularly excited about one small detail: fishing.
What does the big update offer? Rare wants to introduce some innovations in Sea of Thieves with the update.
- In the Arena PvP mode, you compete with other pirates while searching for treasures.
- New story-driven adventures will find their way into the game.
- The quest system will be revamped.
- You can get pets.
- You will be able to fish and also cook the fish you catch.
- The damage system of your ship will be revised.
A Comprehensive Update
What is special about the update? While it is already cool to cast the fishing line from your own ship and then prepare and eat the caught fish, the Arena mode and the new story missions are the real highlights of the update.
The Arena mode is supposed to make it even more exciting to compete against other pirate crews. You not only have to be quick to retrieve treasures, but you also need to gear up well, as your enemies could ambush you anywhere.
As for the story-driven missions, the developers are addressing a community wish. They simply want to experience more exciting stories. During the missions, which by the way only represent the beginning of the “Legends of Sea of Thieves”, you will explore familiar places, learn more about them, and meet familiar faces.
This is intended to make the gaming experience of Sea of Thieves more interesting for those who enjoy stories in games.
This is how the battles will be more exciting: In naval battles, the update makes it possible to specifically damage masts, anchors, and the rudder of a ship.
In addition, a harpoon will be introduced, with which you can steal treasures from the deck of a ship, provided you can aim well. Furthermore, new enemies are expected to join, making the battles more varied.
Fans Enjoy Fishing
How do the fans react? On Reddit, players are already looking forward to the big update. The mood is very positive.
Nivekeryas says: “We are getting story missions, the Arena, fishing, cooking, harpooning, mast destruction, new cosmetic items… Clean!”
The fans are particularly excited about fishing, which seems to strike a chord in the community:

- auto911 explains: “Everyone is just talking about fishing, but did you also see that you can cook?”
When is the update coming out? Rare will release the “Anniversary Update” for Sea of Thieves on April 30th.
