As part of today’s Inside Xbox livestream, Rare has detailed Sea of Thieves’ upcoming Forsaken Shores content update, which is coming to Xbox One and PC on September 19th.
Forsaken Shores’ most significant addition is its perilous new biome, known as the Dev’s Roar. Pirates brave enough to explore this deadly stretch of ocean will find islands positively quaking with volcanic activity. As you explore the new area, volcanic eruptions are a constant risk, and you’ll need to use the environment wisely to escape their ire.
Caves might offer some respite, but you’ll still need to deal with falling rocks and steaming geysers, and even the ocean itself can prove deadly, as the water becomes superheated during eruptions. Thankfully, Sea of Thieves is also introducing new rowboats, which makes it easier to traverse the Devil’s Roar, and get your treasure back to you ship, without fear of getting your toes incinerated.
