Running out of stuff to do in Sea of Thieves? The developers are trying to counter those summer duldrums with recurring in-game events, the first of which is going live today with Patch 1.1.2.
The Skeleton Thrones event will send players scrambling to declare themselves the rulers of the islands: “These thrones require a good sense of discovery to find, and for some an even steadier aim to reach. There are five small thrones and five large thrones, the small requiring just one pirate to sit on, but the larger requiring pirates to be sat on it from more than one crew. Look high, look low, and look within…”
The patch also made a lot of changes to the Bilge Rats faction (which ties in to the event), adding a dedicated progression screen, a unique currency, special cosmetics, titles, and a way to trade gold for rep increases.
