Sea of Thieves has been a title that has struggled a bit despite its success in the gaming world. For while Rare is a respected developer, it didn’t help that when the game was launched…there wasn’t much to do. To their credit though, they started to release a plethora of free content updates with the intention of making the game better, and now, with the “Shrouded Sails” update, they’ve continued to do that. And it’s not just content that’s been updated, it’s cosmetic options too.
For example, you can now customize more parts of your ship to truly make it stand out from the crowd:
Pirates can now flaunt their riches by customising their ship’s wheel, cannons and capstan! These new cosmetics can be bought from Shipwrights across the Sea of Thieves and their stock is split by region (matching locations to our existing sets). So if you want to round out a cosmetic set, visit the Shipwright you bought it from the first time around!
But, if you’re looking for more action in Sea of Thieves, don’t worry, they’ve got that covered too:
- Megalodon Variety – More of these toothy fiends (each with their own distinctive look) have reached the surface. Shrouded Spoils introduces the Crested Queen, Shadowmaw, Ancient Terror and the extremelyrare Shrouded Ghost!
- Kraken Updates – The difficulty of Kraken encounters has been increased and balanced for different crew sizes, meaning it can now assault any ship, even your Sloop! Watch out for its new slap attack too. The seas just got more perilous…
- Fort Commodities – Loot in Forts can now include the extra-powerful Stronghold Gunpowder Keg. Ancient Bone Dust crates can also be found and exchanged for Gold and reputation with the Merchant Alliance.
Read the full patch notes to see all that’s been added, but no matter how you look at it, the world of Sea of Thieves is getting more packed.
