Rare Returns With Swashbuckling Adventure Sea Of Thieves
Rare came out of hiding not only to talk about its 30-game retrospective collection, but also a new multiplayer pirates title called Sea of Thieves.
Rare studio head Craig Duncan characterized the MMO-like game as a title built around bringing multiple gamers together in the large world.
Players can pilot and explore islands with others aboard their pirate ship, engage other ships (including in ship-to-ship combat with cannonballs and ship ramming), and even make crew members walk the plank above shark-infested waters.
A touch of island exploring was also teased, including treasure-gathering and fighting skeletons.
No release date was given for the Xbox One exclusive.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
