The pirate sandbox that is Sea of Thieves just got the Forsaken Shores update, which adds a lot of stuff, including fiery volcanoes and rowboats.
Being a pirate is quite the lovely occupation. You get to sail mesmerizing seas, hunt sea monsters, and do other stuff that pirates usually do. If you did all there is to do as a pirate, don’t worry, there’s more with the Forsaken Shores update. First things first, there is a new map called The Devil’s Roar. As you can guess from the name, it is quite a dangerous place. Volcanoes, boiling water, lava patches. Everything you ever wanted all in one place, and more.
Hot boulders falling from the skies won’t be your biggest concern while you’re exploring The Devil’s Roar and looking for hidden treasure. Boiling water will be your greatest enemy, as you can’t really swim in it unless you want to take damage. But, that’s why we have rowboats. They are great for transportation and transport, as they have storage areas in them.
Speaking of transportation, there’s a new type of quest in Sea of Thieves. In them, players need to transport things like bottles of rum or exotic plants to a certain place. But, the cargo is precious and you have to take care of it. You can jump from a high place with a lot of liquor bottles in your hands, but they are going to get smashed. There are even plants which need watering while they’re being transported, so that’s a pretty neat feature.
You can check out the official video for this content update to see everything that came with it. It’s good to see that the developers are taking care of Sea of Thieves and updating it with new content regularly.
