Developer Rare is hard at work updating the game, already (vaguely) detailing the major updates players will soon be able to experience. No doubt there are plenty more adventures in the works, but that got us thinking — what would we choose to add to Sea of Thieves if we could have anything at all? Here are five features we'd love to see added in the near future. Are you listening, Rare? Get those quill pens out and get to writing all this down! There's treasure out there that needs plunderin'!
The ancient Mayans left behind a lifetime of treasure and mystery that remain lost in the deep, impenetrable jungles of Southern Mexico. One of those secrets was the end of civilization as we know it. In UAYEB, the new survival game by Francis Courchinoux, you play as the titular character, woken up a long time after the Mayan Apocalypse of 2012 and left to fend for himself. To figure out how you got here and what has happened, you must search for Mayan Treasures and fend of the rabid scavengers who seem hell bent on tearing you apart. Seems reasonable.
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is finally here. The seventh main entry in the Yakuza series, Yakuza 6 continues the franchise’s tradition of throwing the player into a massive open world that is absolutely chalk-full of entertaining distractions and engaging gameplay.
Jason Voorhees is the New York Yankees of the horror genre — his mask is instantly recognizable and terrifying, and maybe one of the most branded things on Earth. You can get hockey mask t-shirts, coffee cups — you name it, we can Jason-o-fy it. I mention this because looking at Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle might instill some flight or fight responses in people who believe certain things don't go together...like a bloody horror film franchise being combined with a cute-looking puzzle game, for instance. Let me assure you: Killer Puzzle isn't just a gimmick, it's an entirely new and fun way of thinking about this quintessential horror icon.
For the last few weeks, Fortnite Battle Royale players have been confronted with an icy, gleaming ball of light that suddenly appeared over the Tilted Towers zone. It's a comet, and it's getting closer each day. No one knows exactly what purpose it serves, or what's going to ultimately come of the anomaly.
The race to decipher what the gleaming comet in the sky could mean for the future of the game is on, and fans are racking up their own discoveries and theories to go with them. It's a riddle that practically begs to be solved, especially when Epic Games has been teasing players with important tidbits that all seem to lead to one conclusion: Tilted Towers will likely cease to exist in the future. But to what end?
Still busy out there becoming the scourge of the seven seas? Of course you are! Rare's Sea of Thieves is finally here, and a pirate's work is never done. One of the best ways to rise up the pirate ranks is to conquer fortresses full of Skeletons who want nothing more than to kill you, and that's not even mentioning the other pirates who can't wait to jump in and steal all of your hard-earned booty. And we're not talkin' about the one that you had to eat all those yummy donuts to get.
Humans have been fighting each other over land, riches, and fame for eons. As they tore themselves apart, a ravenous dark horde assembled in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike. These vile creatures — the Ravenii — have emerged to deal humanity a fatal blow, using a mixture of lost technologies, arcane magic, and giant ogres upwards of 150-feet tall. There's only one thing on their mind regarding humankind: Extinction.
The "it" genre in video games these days is the battle royale. Simply put, they task a large group of players to duke it out over scarce resources and limited terrain until one player (or team of players) is left standing. It's characterized by tense periods of waiting, coupled with quick and violent exchanges where players risk it all to come out on top. It's competitive, re-playable and, perhaps most importantly, stream-friendly.
The genre is still relatively young, but new entries are beginning to debut pretty regularly, with plenty of new battle royale-style games in development. With that in mind, here are the best battle-royale experiences you can take for a spin right now.
In Sea of Thieves, the goal, or end game, is to become a Pirate Legend. Prior to release, there weren't many clues to hint at what might be unlocked at such a rank. However, thanks to a few Twitch streamers who've recently earned the title, we now know exactly what you'll unlock when you become a Pirate Legend.
Richard Garriott, aka Lord British, is an iconic name in MMO game development, responsible for one of the most influential RPGs of all time: Ultima. From Ultima, to Omega, to City of Heroes, to Tabula Rasa, Garriott's 40-year career is littered with some standout work. He looks to take another stab at shaking up the genre in Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues.
