Head to T-26 at the southern edge of the Sea of Thieves game map but ensure one player is drumming Merrick's shanty the entire way. Other plans can only pick up the tune from a player already playing it so you can trade it off (you'll need to in order to continue the tune onto the ship since you can't play and climb the ladder at the same time) and share with other players along the way or at the locat

Still, Microsoft's Xbox team appears to know where its brand is currently lacking, and they're beginning to get back on the right track, if recent promises are anything to go on. According to recent rumors and reports, Microsoft-owned properties like Fable and Perfect Dark are set to be resurrected in the near future - the former by Forza Horizon series developer Playground Games and the latter with help from Gears of War 4 studio The Coalition. Plus, there are also rumors that Forza Horizon 4 will also debut this year. Provided all this information is true, these games are a good start for Xbox as it begins taking advantage of the I.P. currently at its disposal, but it'll take more than a few games down the r

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

We noted in our first impressions of Sea of Thieves that the server issues are a problem all too common in online games and one that after all these years shouldn't still happen, but it does. So please be prepared going in that there may be difficulties joining with others in a crew, and that it's possible to lose connection while playing, and with it, your loot that you've yet to redeem at an outpost. This can be infuriating but it's part of the growing pains and reality of this game at the mom

Fans of Rare are excitedly awaiting the anniversary of what might be the studio's most iconic franchise, Banjo-Kazooie . Originally launching on Nintendo 64 in 1998, June 29 will mark the 20th anniversary of the hugely popular 3D platforming game. Fans will be absolutely celebrating, but the question is whether Rare will be too, and what the studio has planned. Players of Rare's newest game, Sea of Thieves , think they might have an idea what's in st

This one's tricky to find so swim underwater at the northeast side of the island and look for the stone doorway cave entrance. Inside is the last of Merrick's three journals which which again has just two pages which hint that he's making more of his drums for other pirates and that enough people can learn his shanty they can summon the beast from the deep once m

Rare then is shown to care deeply about bringing Banjo-Kazooie into Sea of Thieves in assorted ways. Rare's shown to have Banjo-Kazooie rewards in the works. And Rare has the opportunity to start a Banjo-Kazooie event in Sea of Thieves for the 20th anniversary if it so chooses. The stars could be align

Sea of Thieves has released online and has passed its first 48 hours of life milestone but not without its challenges. Thanks to this latest project from developer Rare being one of the most anticipated games of 2018 - and Microsoft helping boost player counts by making it available as part of their Game Pass subscription plan - there's an overwhelming amount of interest. So much so, that Sea of Thieves as not been working as intended to say the l

And what makes the wait for more first-party titles all the more troublesome is that Microsoft just released the Xbox One X - the most powerful video game console ever created - and they should be leveraging all that power by making Xbox One X exclusive games . On that note, one thing to keep in mind is that, because of those aforementioned cancellations and delays, Microsoft may be waiting to announce any new titles until they are sure those games will hit store shelves in a reasonable amount of time. Granted, they are doing exceptional work with Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox Backwards Compatibility, but those aren't enough when gaming is about looking to the future as much as it is about preserving the past. Let's just hope that gamers aren't left waiting too long for new, truly worthwhile cont
