Unsurprisingly, it's starting to look like Rare might feel the same way. Sea of Thieves ' first Bilge Rat Adventure, the Skeleton Thrones, will be ending on June 26. Another event is expected to pick up the same day, though Rare has yet to announce what it may be. Rare will have every opportunity to launch a Banjo-Kazooie event in Sea of Thieves , so long as they've planned ahead and laid out preparations. And at this point, most Sea of Thieves players will say, "A

All of the issues that are common and raised online in the forums, Discord, and Sea of Thieves Subreddit are things the developers are seeing and noting as well. Hopefully, this up update address the obvious concerns and quells some of the brewing negativity online. It's been such a problem that even the downvote option was seemingly removed from the Sea of Thieves p

While there were many sponsors for the TIGA Games Industry Awards 2018, Google were sponsors for the Game Of The Year award, a mobile game. From Lockwood Publishing, Avakin Life is an Android and iOS game that allows players to create an avatar and roam a 3D world while interacting with a large online commun

Over on the 81st page of an original Sea of Thieves Closed Beta forum thread, the user known as Pelochoman managed to track down images of the terrifyingly elusive beast. The screenshots do a good job of showing just how big the creature is as the tentacles are fairly visible in the distance as well as quite large when the ship is close enough to be attacked. Another screenshot shows the ship being squeezed by the creature, while another tentacle shoots up through the water with what appears to be a spiked mouth of some sort. What isn't detailed in these images, however, is just how massive the entire creature is as only the arms and tentacles can be seen, not the actual body of the be

Most importantly, the update brings a new region to explore: The Devil’s Roar. If you remember sailing along a vast and empty The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker -style ocean in the early days, you’ll be glad for any new area, but this is just on a whole new level. As the official trailer demonstrates, it’s a perilous place, with earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fireballs and scalding geysers to avoid. If you were looking for an exciting new area to explore, The Devil’s Roar is sure to bring all the excitement you could’ve asked

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

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

Since its reveal at E3 2015, Sea of Thieves promised players an open and dynamic world to live out pirate fantasies of treasure hunting, drinking, and ship battling. The recent closed beta test gave fans a small taste of what to expect, though many were looking for more things to do in the world outside of sailing and finding treasure. While the full game promises to have more content, one aspect that Rare has been particularly tight-lipped about is the massive, ship destroying creature known as the Kra

Sea of Thieves launched in March earlier this year and has exceeded Microsoft's expectations. Rare has since run its first major post-launch event, The Hungering Deep, and just yesterday Rare started the first of what it calls "Bilge Rat Adventures," which are smaller scale events that will fill in the weeks between major content releases. Rare's firing on all cylinders, and the studio seems like it's in its best condition in a decade -- it's the perfect time to throw a celebrat

In addition to the new region itself, Forsaken Shores brings a plethora of other interesting elements to gameplay. Rowboats are also new. You can find them washed up mouse click on strategyreviewer.com beaches, claim them for your own, and sneak around largely unseen. As Destructoid reports, the uses of this in PvP are going to be as devious as they are hilari

Stories of the Kraken have existed as far back as E3 2016, but so far Rare has mostly managed to keep it hidden from the public. Alongside the dynamic storms that can hit players at any time , the Kraken is less of a boss and more of a thing in the game that can appear out of nowhere. The first sign of a Kraken is an inky mess in the water, but when and how it strikes is designed to be different each time and highly replayable. Unfortunately for players, it won't be easy as the creature is capable of picking up and tossing players in addition to damaging a ship or completely wrapping it up. Players may even find the destroyed remains of ships as well, presenting an opportunity to loot valuable che
