More Improvements Will Be Added in the Future
Weather conditions are a big thing in Sea of Thieves. Storms and winds will greatly affect your ship’s movement and your own visibility. Winds can change directions at the drop of a dime, and your crew has to be ready to adjust the sails whenever this happens. When asked about the weather conditions and general support for the game in the future, Neate stated that “this is going to be a constantly evolving game” that will receive even more improved weather conditions in the future. Things will grow over time, and weather conditions might become a more complex gameplay component you’ll have to watch out for in the future.
Neate also directed my attention to the game’s sky. He mentions that the sky and the sea are the two things you’ll see the most in Sea of Thieves, and that’s exactly why Rare has put in so much effort into perfecting them. The sky isn’t just a dome over the world; it’s an actual sky with 3D clouds and they’re meant to signify the passage of time as you sail the seas.
