The latest update to Sea of Thieves sees the arrival of the eleventh time-limited Adventure on the high seas, titled 'The Secret Wilds.' It also adds new additions to Pirate Emporium including the Labyrinth Looter collection and an Oar-Inspiring set of emotes. Finally, the developers have added tweaks and changes to Faction Battles.

The tweaks involve improvements to matchmaking for Faction Battles in Sea of Thieves that will let players that will let them go up against other crews from the same Faction for honor. This change comes after players have been complaining about the matchmaking time.

The release notes explain that when Sea of Thieves pirates vote on the War Map, the game will first search for players from the other faction. If the matchmaking is not successful, the search will also include players from the same faction after some time. The latest update also adds new locations, allegiance balancing, and deterrence to teaming.
