Sea of Thieves has been updated once again, with its latest patch adding a new story-focused Adventure called Forts of the Forgotten. This is the pirate game's second Adventure, and the free limited-time event runs March 24-April 7.
Players will embark on a journey to Sea Forts with Captain Flameheart. It won't be easy, though, as Microsoft says to expect «heavy resistance» from a «phantom phalanx» as players attempt to enter the Golden Sands Outpost and save its inhabitants from the terror. Have a look at the Forts of the Forgotten cinematic trailer below to get a better idea for what to expect.
Forts of the Forgotten follows on from the first Adventure, Shrouded Islands, which saw players take down the Soulflame captains, in turn weakening the barrier between the real world and the Sea of the Damned.
If you want to know more about the narrative, developer Rare has published a story primer that includes everything you need to know about the story so far and what to expect in Forts of the Forgotten.
The update that adds Forts of the Forgotten is relatively big, weighing in at a few gigs depending on your platform. You can see the full file sizes and patch notes below.
Sea of Thieves is available with Xbox Game Pass or by direct purchase. It's proven to be a big, ongoing success story for Microsoft in the live-service department, counting 25 million players as of the end of 2021. In addition to ongoing support for Sea of Thieves, Rare is making a new IP called Everwild, but it has reportedly been rebooted and now isn't expected to launch until 2024 at the soonest.
