Developer Rare has been releasing developer gameplay videos for their pirate multiplayer game Sea of Thieves for a while now. We shared the first two videos with you earlier this year, and three more have since been released including a new one today.
In the latest video, one group of players encounters another group of players. But instead of having a cannonball fight—as we’ve seen in previous videos and will likely often be the case when the game comes out and people start playing it—they decide to have a friendly ship race. Followed by a not-so-friendly organized battle to the death on an island.
Continue below to watch the videos.
ABOUT:
Sea of Thieves is a shared-world adventure game (or “SWAG,” as we’re fond of calling it). It’s a multiplayer game with crew co-operation at its core, and our ambition is to let players be the kind of pirates they want to be. Whether you’d like to hunt for legendary treasures, sail to the furthest island in the distance or hunt down rival crews, our ambition is to build a game that lets you pursue whichever adventure your salty heart desires.
