Sea of Thieves: In coop treasure hunting – multiplayer gameplay

Not long now, and the online pirate game Sea of Thieves will be released. A new video already shows you how to sail cooperatively and find treasures.

Pirates set sail with their ships to search for treasures. This is also on the agenda in the upcoming pirate online game Sea of Thieves. With a new video, the developers show you how this works. The video also excellently illustrates how the game can be played completely without HUD and UI elements, and how this contributes to creating an immersive atmosphere.

Cooperatively on Treasure Hunt

When you go on a treasure hunt, you should do it together with friends. Because to sail a large ship, you need a functioning crew. Doing it alone will make it more complicated. Because you cannot simultaneously steer the ship, set the sails, check the compass, and look at the map. This is where your crew comes into play.

While you are at the helm, another person tells you in which direction you need to sail, as he sees this on his compass. He receives this data from a third player, who is currently looking at the map and knows in which direction the island is located.

But simply sailing off is not a good idea, as the waters are treacherous. Not all rocks and straits will be shown on your maps, so you should always plan a good and safe route. Once you finally reach the island, you land, search for the treasure there, and dig it up together before selling it. Finally, you buy a lot of rum to celebrate your success and enhance your ship a bit before sailing on to find new treasures.

Other pirates want treasures too

But beware: Along the way, you might encounter other pirate crews who want to snatch the treasure right from under your nose. This can lead to action-packed sea battles or duels, where a functioning and well-coordinated crew is also useful.

Sea of Thieves will launch this February for Windows 10 PCs and Xbox One.
