The pirate online game Sea of Thieves is taking shape, as a new gameplay video shows, and is slowly setting sail towards release.
Sea of Thieves is still in Technical Alpha, to which more and more players are being granted access. As for an official release date, the developers at Rare are currently keeping quiet. However, it is expected to be early next year.
Looking at the latest video, which you can find at the end of the article, the title already makes a good impression and could pass for a finished game.
New features for pirates
But the developers want to take their time and provide more content for the players. The latest activities include silent communication via a selection of commands as well as the “Brig”. If you have a rogue pirate on board who is sabotaging you, you can throw them in the brig – if you can catch them.
As a prisoner, you then try to persuade the other crew members to release you. This happens when the team votes together for it.
Sink your own ship
With “Scuttling”, it is possible to sink your own ship. However, you should only do this in desperate situations if you do not want your ship to fall into the hands of another crew.
If you want to have adventures alone, you can get the “Small Ship”, which you can steer alone across the sea. However, the boat is not well armed, and fighting alone against a crew of pirates is generally not a good idea…
However, the developers still want to integrate more features before they release Sea of Thieves. Given the current state and the speed at which the team integrates new features, a release date early next year seems realistic.
In the pirate online game Sea of Thieves, you will encounter many dangers on the high seas. These also include the storms we have already reported about.
