Rare are brining another content update for their swashbuckling adventure Sea of Thieves. Named Dark Relics, the update is bringing three new voyages, commendations and rewards. There's also weapon balancing and general improvements.

Sea of Thieves has received Black Powder Stashes, the first limited-time event in a series of planned monthly content updates. The update introduces new challenges, Mercenary Commendations and rewards with some gameplay balancing tweaks.

Sea of Thieves' executive producer Joe Neate has shed some light on the upcoming content in Rare's swashbuckling adventure, announcing 'the first of many' events dubbed Black Powder Stashes, some changes to The Arena PvP mode, and more.

Sea of Thieves, Rare's swashbuckling adventure, has had plenty of criticism over the lack of content but their latest update proves those days are long gone, as Rare counted 8.4 million players, 2 million of which came after the update.

Rare and Microsoft are finally introducing another big batch of content to Sea of Thieves in today's Anniversary Update. The biggest additions in the new update are certainly the competitive mode The Arena and new Tall Tales story.

Rare have released a trailer for Sea of Thieves' upcoming story mode Tall Tales, and it's about half way between Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean. The dev promises immersive ''stories of piracy and wild encounters on the waves.''

Much has been said about Sea of Thieves' immediate post-launch content, or lack thereof, but it seems that even the worst nonbelievers are getting onboard for the upcoming anniversary update, which adds the Arena, Tall Tales mode and more.

Sea of Thieves' long-awaited Anniversary Update is scheduled to finally drop on 30 April 2019. The update will introduce a couple of new features such as fishing and cooking, competitive mode named The Arena and a brand new storyline.

As promised, Rare have rolled out the new update to their swashbuckling adventure Sea of Thieves, adding a new Mercenary Voyage, a bunch of combat balancing improvements, performance tweaks and decreases the game's footprint by 20GB.

If you're still on the fence whether to get into Sea of Thieves or not, then we've got some good news - Rare and Microsoft have kicked off the Friends Play Free campaign that lets existing players invite three friends for a free week.
