Sea of Thieves - watch your step

Rare's Sea of Thieves is shaping up nicely

After they showed off the coop multiplayer in January, Rare is giving us an update on their *insert a pirate reference here* game and its future features. The latest alpha update introduces more islands, outposts, fall damage and skeletons out to kick you while you're down.

There is a limited number of places open for this alpha and a requirement is to sign up for the Sea of Thieves Insider Programme . The game still has no release date, but Rare will probably open the next update to a larger audience.
