Sea Of Thieves Adds First Limited-Time Adventure, Shrouded Islands
It's a big day for Rare's swashbuckling adventure game Sea of Thieves, which welcomes its first new Adventure expansion, «Shrouded Islands.» The so-called Adventures are limited-time, story-focused events that are separate from the game's ongoing seasonal updates.
The first Adventure, Shrouded Islands, has players venturing into the «ethereal mist» to uncover secrets, take part in battles, and earn new rewards. A new Adventure will come to Sea of Thieves about once every month, and these will run for about two weeks. Shrouded Islands is available until March 3.
«As Shrouded Islands opens, a new threat encroaching upon Golden Sands Outpost, the sudden disappearance of Captain Flameheart from the skies and reported sightings of the mysterious Belle have caused a hubbub on the Sea of Thieves--with Larinna, leader of the Bilge Rats, keeping a watchful eye on these strange events,» reads a line from its description. «Whenever you're looking to venture forth on an Adventure, Larinna should have a lead to help you get started and will even beckon you over if you approach the tavern.»
The update that adds Shrouded Island is free and available to all Sea of Thieves players, whether they own the game outright or have it through Game Pass on console and PC. The patch notes and file sizes by platform can be seen below.
Years after launch, Sea of Thieves is still doing big numbers for Microsoft. By the company's latest count, it has 25 million players. Sea of Thieves is one of GameSpot's best Xbox One games of all time, and you can see the rest in our roundup of the Xbox One's 25 best games.
