Sea of Thieves season 10 release delayed into October
Season 10 of Sea of Thieves has been delayed, and will now launch on 19th October.
«It's not a decision we've taken lightly, and we share your disappointment that it's something we've needed to do,» Sea of Thieves' head of community Christina McGrath wrote in a blog update earlier today.
«However, after careful consideration, we firmly believe that it's the best thing to do for the quality of the release, the sustainability of our development process and the wellbeing of our team.»
McGrath cited the upcoming season's headline feature, something the team has found «tougher than anticipated to pull together», as one of the reasons for this delay. Originally the season was aiming for an August release.
«We recognise that it's not just the delay of new content that's frustrating, but the impact on season nine's length too,» McGrath continued, with the developer stating it was never the intention to have the current season last as long as it has.
«We know you've come to expect a consistent rhythm of how and when we deliver new gameplay experiences, and season 10's delay means that we'll be asking you to wait a little while longer to get your hands on a big, brand new feature.»
McGrath assured Sea of Thieves' community there will still be a «solid line-up of shenanigans» arriving in the game over the next few months, to tide players over until October.
This includes a 'Gold & Glory' weekend, which will run from 4th — 7th August. Legends Week will then be returning, with the promise of «new things to do and earn for both Legends and Legends-to-be». There will also be a Sea of Thieves community weekend in September. This will be a 'Talk like a pirate day' special.
The developer has said more information on these events
