Sea of Thieves 2.8.0 Season 9 patch notes: Chests of Fortune, a variety of world events, Captaincy expansion and more
A new season of piracy has dawned upon the treacherous waters of Sea of Thieves, with players finally being able to dive deep into Season 9 to check everything it has to offer. Unlike previous Sea of Thieves seasons, the latest iteration does not center around one significant content update.
The developers at Rare have taken a rather different approach this time around. Season 9 introduces a plethora of gameplay changes, general improvements, quality-of-life updates, and more to Sea of Thieves.
First and foremost, the world of the popular title has been rebalanced, with a "new level of life and variety" and properly scaled encounters awaiting swashbuckling buccaneers.
Season 9 of Sea of Thieves introduces the lucrative Chests of Fortune, which can be found in the Fort of Fortune Vaults. Those who manage to get their hands on them will earn not only a fortune in gold but also Commendations for other rewards, including items from the new Fates of Fortune cosmetic set.
The beacons of Reaper's Chests or Reaper's Bounties are now also visible even if Sea of Thieves players collect them with the new Season 9. This will ensure more competition among players to snatch these prized items up. There are also new Xbox and Steam achievements to unlock in Sea of Thieves.
Pirate Legend players will now have access to a new Captain's Voyage, which can be gained from the shipwright or the Pirate Lord. The voyage will equip Sea of Thieves players with the Wayfinder of Legends Compass that will lead them to the Skull of Destiny. This unique item provides all six Flames of Fate and can be used as a ritual skill to trigger the Fort of the Damned event.
Without further ado, here are the official notes for Season 9 with update 2.8.0.
