The next two big summer content updates are the main focus at Sea of Thieves’ E3 presence this week and will hopefully beef up the content in this lean pirate game.
Coming in July is the Cursed Sails DLC, which will see skeletons sailing their own ships while players crew the brand-new three-player Brigantine in response. This update will also include a new campaign and several emergent threats in the world.
Past that, September’s Forsaken Shores drop sees if pirates can handle volcanos, fire, and ash. But don’t worry, you’ll get an exposed wooden rowboat! Er, wait, that doesn’t sound very fair.
There’s stuff to do this month as well, as a Skeleton Thrones event is coming on June 12th. Microsoft said that over four million players have taken to the high seas so far, making Sea of Thieves “the best-selling new IP for Xbox this generation.”
