5 Games that Redeemed Themselves in 2018
Sea of Thieves
When Sea of Thieves was first announced many E3’s ago on the Microsoft stage it took the world by storm. A new IP developed by the talented folks at Rare had players buzzing about this new pirate adventure game.
In March of 2018, it finally released and while many players were having a good time with it, the sentiment of “what exactly do you do” echoed loudly. Sea of Thieves, like many games as a service, suffered from an upfront content problem.
Rare has been working hard and this year released two major expansions for the game.
The Forsaken Shores brought a new area filled with volcanoes and deadly skeleton pirate ships, while the Shrouded Spoils brought heavy fog and new ship and cannon cosmetics. These two expansions helped flesh out the world exponentially.
Sea of Thieves is about creating your own pirate adventures with friends and Rare has been putting in the work to give you new challenges to face, treasure to hunt down, and enemies to fight like giant sharks, krakens, and of course other pirates.
Sea of Thieves is also getting a new PvP centric mode titled “The Arena” in 2019. This game has changed drastically in just a short time of 9 months and they have their sights still set on the horizon.
