We didn’t begin the fireplace. It’s all the time burning because the wheel’s been turning. Oh sure, the flames rage on in Sea Of Thieves. Last month’s replace added that flamin’ indignant chest and ashen skeletons and whatnot. Next week, the foolish pirates game is getting one other replace and yup, issues are nonetheless scorching round right here. This time ’spherical it’s hearth traps, a knockback bomb, and new Tall Tale quests setting the course. Rare’s new video will get into among the particulars we will anticipate subsequent week within the Heart Of Fire replace.
Part of subsequent week’s replace is a brand new Tall Tale—the story-style quests that Sea Of Thieves now has. An enormous aspect of that journey shall be traps, Rare say. Some of the fiery selection and among the slicey, it appears. In the video beneath, you may spot big swinging axes, round saws popping out of the ground, and a heck of lots of flame jets coming out each which method. The story in Heart Of Fire picks up the place the previous journey Seabound Soul left off late final yr.
Rare additionally say they’ve in-built alternate routes for the Heart Of Fire story in order that gamers get a barely totally different expertise in the event that they replay it. I’ve simply jumped again into Sea Of Thieves final week to begin the unique story adventures from final yr and have discovered them fairly enjoyable. So far, I’ve gotten books of riddles and hints main me to varied islands to dig up treasure and combat boss-style enemies. As with a few of my early quests, I think alternate routes by means of Heart Of Fire imply that you simply’ll have barely totally different clues sending you off to totally different islands in case you set out on the identical voyage with totally different teams of buddies as I’ve.
In the replace subsequent week, Rare are additionally including one thing known as a Blunder Bomb which could be thrown to knock gamers again, destroy skeletons in a single hit, and even rock a complete ship. They received’t harm the hull although, so that you’ll have to give you strategic methods to make use of them. One risk highlighted within the video is chucking them at enemy gamers making an attempt to board your ship. Since the bombs received’t blow a gap in your hull, you may safely use them to swat gamers off your ladders.
Of course there are additionally beauty objects being added, as ya do with stay service games. I don’t wish to be out right here slinging premium gown up objects—I nonetheless haven’t tried out that Pirate Appearance Potion I used to be on about final month—however I do really feel compelled to let you know there are banana weapons being added. Rare say banana-themed duds have been requested by gamers previously and yeah, they’re effectively and good for Thieves’ foolish setting.
The Heart of Fire replace will launch free on March 11th. As per common, yow will discover Sea Of Thieves on the Microsoft Store or get it as a part of the Xbox Game Pass for PC that’s nonetheless up for that intro value of £1/$1 for a month.
