With Sea of Thieves’ latest patch in and out of the way this morning, what’s next for the game? Executive Producer Joe Neate is explaining just that in a new video out today, the first of apparently many planned videos.
Neate notes that Rare is focused on weekly updates and that today’s update demonstrates that the studio is moving on to new gear and customizations (rather than just mopping up remaining launch messes). The devs are now split into three teams, one for each of the upcoming updates: Hungering Deep, Cursed Sails, and Forsaken Shores. Each team is focused on the core new content, plus ongoing feedback and smaller weekly tweaks.
Hungering Deep will be out later this month as a medium-sized update; the future updates will be meatier since they’ll have had that much more time to actually cook. Once that Hungering Deep is out, that mini-team will be moved to another unnamed patch slated for after the other two mentioned above, and on and on as they go – which sounds like quite a bit of new content on deck for the indefinite future.
