Big things are happening in Sea of Thieves next week, as Rare’s massive, game-changing (and free) Anniversary Update finally sets sail on 30th April. And you can take a look at one of its most significant additions – the brand-new Tall Tales story mode – in a newly revealed trailer.
Sea of Thieves’ story system (which is complemented by the glorious new standalone PvP-focussed Arena mode in next week’s update), introduces nine lengthy narrative-driven chapters that set crews of up to four out in search of a mysterious island known as the Shores of Gold.
As I discovered recently, the Shores of Gold is a little bit Goonies, and a little bit Indiana Jones, and could well deliver precisely the sort of swashbuckling, rip-roaring lore-driven adventures that many have been hoping to see since Sea of Thieves launched last year.
