It has been almost half a decade since the release of Sea of Thieves, Rare's action-adventure pirate title.
Although the game had several issues at launch, it quickly went through a redemption arc with fresh new content being added regularly, thereby significantly improving player experience.
The newest major update to Sea of Thieves will be Season 7, which was originally supposed to be released on July 21. The season will provide players with the ability to captain their own ships, among other things.
Citing "a lot of hidden work," Rare decided to push Season 7's release date back to August 4. In a recent YouTube video, the studio revealed what fans can expect in the upcoming season.

Rare's YouTube video provides a detailed breakdown of the upcoming season, which will definitely get players pumped up for Thursday's release.
Season 7 will change how players acquire and captain their own ships. Players will get to own ships, unlock deeper levels of customizations and get new rewards through an all-new progression system.
Players will also have to pay for the type of ship they want in the game. They will only be able to buy one of each type. Sloops (crew size 1-2) cost 250,000 gold, brigantines (crew size 2-3) are priced at 375,000 gold, and galleons (crew size 4) will set players back for 500,000 gold.
