Sea of Thieves’ next major content update, Forsaken Shores, is right around the corner, launching on September 19th. In the run-up to its release, Rare has unveiled a brand-new cinematic teaser trailer, highlighting and hinting at some the new additions that the update will bring.
It’s a bit of a dramatic one too, intercutting the ultimately disastrous attempts by an unknown crew to penetrate the Forsaken Shores’ fiery new biome, the Devil’s Roar, and the sorrowful song of a lone survivor. For those less concerned about Sea of Thieves’ narrative fancies, and more interested in Forsaken Shores’ new features, it offers a good few teases too.
As a quick aside, the below trailer is an unofficial rip; the version that briefly appeared on the official Xbox YouTube channel has now been removed, with Rare’s Twitter feed explaining that it’s delayed release while it fixes issues related to today’s new maintenance patch. Evidently the internet’s ‘record’ button was easier to reach than Xbox’s ‘delete’ button.
