The developers of Sea of Thieves have shared some of what players can expect in the remainder of 2024. Developer Rare, the team behind the hit pirate video game Sea of Thieves, has shared its 2024 roadmap for the game, announcing several new weapons, items, and even a brand-new ship will be added to the game.

Sea of Thieves is a game just as famous for its incredible ship sailing gameplay as its charm, providing players with a fun, lighthearted first-person action-adventure experience. Thanks to Sea of Thieves' track record of massive updates, it has become one of the world's most popular community-driven multiplayer games, allowing players to set sail by themselves or with others as they traverse the high seas and seek unbelievable amounts of fame and fortune. Sea of Thieves has continued to stay fresh thanks to a steady stream of content updates, with one of the largest updates seeing the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise being added to the game.

Sea of Thieves Wasted No Time Taking the Wind out of Skull and Bones' Sails

After over a decade of development hell, Skull and Bones has finally released, though Sea of Thieves may have just taken the wind out of its sails.

In a new Sea of Thieves 2024 Preview Event, Rare announced a plethora of new goodies that players will soon be able to enjoy. The 20-minute video updates players on the wide range of new content that will be added to the game soon, following the addition of an Easy Anti-Cheat game mode to Sea of Thieves. Upcoming items include the Grapple Gun and a new cannonball, as well as a new ship called The Burning Blade.

New Items Coming to Sea of Thieves

• Double Shot Pistol
• Wind Caller
• Scattershot
• The Burning Blade
• Stealth
• Grapple Gun
• Ziplines
• Skeleton Camps
• Traps

Season 12 of Sea of Thieves, which launches April 30, will include several new items, such as throwing knives and the Double Shot Pistol, an item that allows players to shoot two separate shots or combine ammo into one singular double shot. A new cannonball called the Scattershot will also be added, which features a wide-spread range similar to that of a shotgun. Season 12 will see The Wind Caller, and Bone Caller will also join Sea of Thieves' collection of different weapons. Players will also be able to zipline in Season 12.

Season 13 is one of the most exciting, with a brand new ship being teased. The Burning Blade will act as a mobile world event in Sea of Thieves and, once defeated, will allow players to take over the ship and its crew of skeletons. Speaking of skeletons, Skeleton Camps will also be added, which act as underground areas, requiring players to solve puzzles in order to acquire loot. The ship also features a staggering lineup of ten cannons, which will undoubtedly rank high against Sea of Thieves' impressive collection of ships.

In Season 14, Sea of Thieves players will be introduced to several new mechanics and tools that will make fighting even more fun and rewarding. A new stealth mechanic will be added to Sea of Thieves, allowing players to disguise themselves as treasure chests, evocative of other disguises like Metal Gear's iconic cardboard box. One of the more exciting additions to Sea of Thieves in Season 14 is the Grapple Gun, a rifle that can harpoon loot and other players. The Grapple Gun will also act as a traversal tool, allowing players to climb environments and board ships.
