Those still devoted to Rare’s online pirate game Sea of Thieves will be greeted with an anniversary update?included are new achievements and a new questline. Shores of Gold will consist of nine “Tall Tales” for players, and with this free update comes a number of achievements for cooking, fishing, The Arena, and a number of other activities in Sea of Thieves. According to Microsoft, this is the “biggest update yet” for the online game.
As with pretty much any portion in Thieves, the quests in Shores of Gold will be playable solo or with a group of friends. These will be narrative-driven quests that will have players on the hunt for the “Shroudbreaker relic.” With these new missions come new gameplay features, as Rare attempts to keep the game fresh over a year after its initial launch. These gameplay mechanics will involve “enchanted tools and artifacts to master,” with brand-new locations presenting “ancient puzzles” to solve.
While these quests are all meant to serve a larger narrative, players are encouraged to replay these missions individually. Doing so may show the players new secrets and solutions not encountered before, seemingly confirming that puzzles can be solved in more ways than one. And with a new narrative also comes new characters, with full professional voice acting and new lore books that further expand the universe of the game.
Sea of Thieves continues to update and evolve, one such update even decreasing the file space of the game. Rare and Xbox Game Studios have been offering some opportunities for others to try out the game, such as one instance in February where players were allowed to invite up to three friends to the game for a weeklong event. Be sure to check out the trailer for Shores of Gold below, while achievement hunters can check out the full list of new achievements, totaling up to 1000 gamerscore, at the bottom.
