Sea of Thieves’ latest update is here, bringing with it another two-week-long Bilge Rat Adventure – this time in the form of the mysterious The Sunken Curse.
This follows on from previous limited-time events Skeleton Thrones and Gunpowder Skeletons, and introduces evil mermaid statues to the world. These health-sapping edifices are located all across the Sea of Thieves, although most can only be found by diving deep beneath the waves.
The general idea behind this latest event is to encourage crews to get wet and start exploring of one of the game’s more under-utilised areas: the shallows (and not-so-shallows) surrounding Sea of Thieves’ multitude of islands. And as a further encouragement, valuable items, such as artefacts, skulls, and treasure chests, will now spawn on the seabed, waiting to be pilfered.
