Sea of Thieves' first major free content expansion has just become available. Titled The Hungering Deep , this first of three summer updates for Sea of Thieves adds a few new systems and content pieces and is headlined by a limited time event which includes a few event-exclusive rewa

For those unaware, TIGA is a network for game developers, and digital publishers, and are a non-profit trade association representing the video game industry. The charity partner at this year's TIGA Games Industry Awards 2018 was SpecialEffect, a charity dedicated to creating methods for disabled gamers to play their favorite titles.

Like hair colour we're working on the design of how we get tattoos to players. We love the idea of unlocking a tattoo after an in game event. Our IPG tech means we can do this, we think it's super cool and we'll look at it post lau

For all skeleton encounters, take out the ranged ones first (and focus on skeletons manning cannons if your own ship is within firing range). The easiest strategy game story guide|Https://strategyreviewer.com/ is to have crew mates lure groups of skeletons near your own ship cannons and even better, to use red gunpowder barrels to one-shot any group of skelet

Regular Skeletons - The standard, basic, bone-looking skeleton can spawn in small groups on almost any island. During quests or Skeleton Fort raids, they appear in waves wearing blue bandanas. They can be taken down easily with one shot from any ranged weapon or one lunge with a sword/cutl

Sea of Thieves lets players suit up as a pirate and embark on high seas adventures in a quest for treasure! But no loot comes without risk of combat. While other pirate crews are the most unpredictable and certainly, have the potential to be the most dangerous, the in-game AI enemies can pose their own problems

Scars and tattoos can now be added to player avatars to further make pirates more unique, there's a new flag system for ships, and even a brand new instrument (a drum!) needed to summon the mighty megalodon shark. But first, the quest itself! How does a pirate and their crew start The Hungering Deep's limited time event, Merrick's Quest ? And how do we get the drums?! Allow us to explain, in det

I think we already established that the Sea of Thieves community is awesome. It’s tight-knit, it’s mostly friendly, and most people do not take it personally when their ship is sunk and their booty - stolen. After all, that’s what the game is all about, right? But, surely, most people would not attack an empty ship, just to get some cheap laughs by watching it sink to the bottom of the sea, right? Well, wrong. In fact, often you will find that other crews do not attack you for your loot, they will not even check if you have loot. They just want to make you feel miserable by having to respawn over, and over, and over ag

Now, the reason why Rare staff is putting in that extra effort (or at least one of the many, many reasons) is that we have all paid a fixed price for the game and we expect some support in return. However, the landscape is soon about to change, as microtransactions will soon be introduced. Of course, they will not alter the gameplay in any way and the only confirmed items for the real-money store are cosmetic pets, so we are not about to get a pay-to-win title. And yet, I can’t help but wonder how that will affect the community, despite it being the only sensible way to pay for the server maintena

Speaking of AI ships, I cannot help but mention the skeletons manning the cannons on various islands. While they certainly add an intriguing game mechanic for advanced players, I find them to be rather annoying most of the times. It’s not that I dislike their presence there, but I do believe they are a bit too accurate for creatures that lack eyes. I’ve probably taken more damage from them than from enemy crews and I’ve fought plenty of other players. So, I can only hope that the AI crew on skeleton ships will be a little less of a nuisance when it comes to firing their cannons. Otherwise, we all might as well say goodbye to our vessels for g

Again on the topic of customization, user Mavorant asked about potentially seeing tattoo customization added to Sea of Thieves considering how important tattoos were in pirate culture. Rare's Ted Timmins responded and again said it's something they hope to add in the fut

After years of waiting, Sea of Thieves is nearly upon us. While many are gearing up to take to the high seas with their friends this coming Tuesday, we recently learned a few more details about the game just before its rele

Skeletons are the only enemy type in Sea of Thieves but come in several varieties. They all only appear on land and cannot enter water beyond the depth of their legs. Some come with swords, some with ranged weapons, and some even eat bananas to heal themselves, while others can use cannons at fo
