Sea of Thieves gameplay trailer has all the joys of a pirate’s life

Sea of Thieves’ Xbox One X trailer has all of the booty you may presumably need.

Sea of Thieves is the sport of old-school, open-world piracy we had no concept we wished till listening to the idea. Now Rare’s newest mission has been showcased on the Xbox E3 livestream, and between looting sunken ships, crawling by means of dungeons, and combating off enemy ships, it’s seeking to be as immersive as we’d hoped.

This new trailer nonetheless doesn’t give us a Sea of Thieves launch date, ending solely with the imprecise “early 2018”. We had anticipated it someday this yr, perhaps alongside the Xbox One X in November, however it was to not be, apparently.

The wait could also be disappointing for Xbox followers who’ve been waiting for Sea of Thieves since its 2015 reveal. It’s the primary new Rare sport since 2014’s Kinect Sports Rivals, and if you wish to wind it again to a sport that wasn’t a group of mini-games to advertise quickly discarded , gosh – Rare hasn’t produced a sport since 2008’s Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.

Clearly Microsoft is pleased to let the workforce take so long as it desires to make no matter it desires. If that ought to occur to be an open world freeform multiplayer pirate journey, so be it.
