Fishing, story-driven adventures, a PvP enviornment mode, and different shiny newnesses in the present day come to Sea Of Thieves in its Anniversary Update, which confusingly is coming thirteen-and-a-bit months after launch. While the multiplayer pirate sandbox initially appeared to be sinking and not using a hint as a result of it had little to do, as our former Alec (RPS in peace) famous in his Sea Of Thieves review, Sea Of Thieves has skilled an unlikely renaissance in current months. Today’s replace sounds prefer it makes Sea Of Thieves extra just like the game Alec had hoped for.
The shiny most important attraction in in the present day’s replace is the introduction of Tall Tales, a collection of story-driven quests which have cutscenes and all. Expect treasure, traps, and large ol’ skeletons. You can play Tall Tales along with your piratepals, in fact, not simply solo.
Competitive piratemurder will get a little bit extra formal with the addition of The Arena, a mode the place crews can conflict in, y’know, arenas. It’ll supply new beauty bits and items to gather too, plus a tavern foyer to hang around in.
Really, although, the facet which most appeals to me is new searching and gathering. Pirates now get to go fishing, they will prepare dinner (and get bonus buffs for cooking properly), they will discover bait to catch uncommon fish… stuff that makes the sandbox facet extra alive. Story missions and PvP are nice however idle actions and distraction fill the downtime between these huge occasions. Fishing and farting about would make up most my piratetime. Especially as a result of fishing is one of the best function a video game can have.
The replace is now dwell. See the Sea Of Thieves version 2.0 patch notes for extra on every little thing.
