Timmins: You can wonder about their intentions as well, because they don’t always have bad ones. Every time you play, there are different stories and different adventures. Every time you see a ship on the horizon, or you see a crew on an island digging for treasure, that’s another group of players. But other crews are doing that in parallel at the same time. There’s so much variety in what people are doing in the experience.Ībove: Sea of Thieves Battle 4K PC Brandedĭuncan: What’s magical about Sea of Thieves is it’s you and your crew going on an adventure that feels like your adventure, like your own pirate story. As more and more people play, with the 140,000-plus sessions we’ve had-I wouldn’t quite say we have that many stories, but we have hundreds of stories. What are you going to encounter? We could ask 10 different people and they’d all give us 10 different stories of what they saw and did in the game. When you think of the romance and fantasy from games and film – Pirates of the Caribbean, Monkey Island – it pulls on that string of being on the open seas, yourself and your crew, looking at the horizon and wondering what’s over it. Ted Timmins: We wanted to build the pirate game we always wanted to play. We invite them in for playtests as we continue to evolve the game. That number has gone up by 30,000 since the briefing. We actually ship the game weekly to live players, albeit to what we call Sea of Thieves insiders, our community. We’re running the game from Rare as we add features. I think we’ve invited another 10,000 people this weekend to play a build that’s exactly the same as the build on the show floor.
We’ve had people play through the last six months. As well as that, we’ve been having people play it. We’ve come back this year with new features - riddle quests, storms, charts, sword fighting, everything you’d want to do as a pirate. In the Devil's Roar, volcanoes and geysers that launch players into the air are a constant threat.Craig Duncan: We had the game at E3 last year. Some of the larger islands may even host coastal defenses in the form of on-shore cannons, where Skeletons fire off cannonballs at any incoming intruders. Each island hosts a unique set of characteristic landmarks and dangers which demand any embarking explorer to keep their wits about when wandering.
