Sea Of Thieves Preview Event Details What To Expect In 2022
A special preview event for Sea of Thieves has confirmed that players will be able to look forward to several big updates this year.
Rare shared a 20-minute, extensive preview with creative director Mike Chapman and other developers on the team, exploring how players can expect the game to evolve over the next 12 months. Starting off, the video dives into how seasonal updates will change by introducing Adventures and Mysteries--story-focused events that are designed to complement seasons by providing regular narrative-driven content for players to play alongside other content.
Adventures are time-limited events, arriving on a monthly schedule and will run for two-three weeks, with each one forming a chapter within an overarching narrative. These will feature cinematics and a finale Adventure that will cap off each narrative arc, with the first event--Shrouded Islands--beginning on February 17.
Alongside Adventures comes Mysteries that will remain part of the world for longer periods of time and will rely on the community to solve clues and riddles to move the story forward. More information on Mysteries will be revealed soon, but Rare hinted that players will attempt to solve a murder.
