About the game

A closer look.

New This Season Season 21 is all about living in the moment – and enjoying the multitude of Live Events lined up! Get a refresher on just some of the initiatives and rewards rolling out over the next few months. Talk Like a Pirate Day Celebrations Join us in celebrating every pirate’s favourite day of the year this September, with prizes to be claimed both in and out of game. You’ll even find a new Parley Pennant waiting in your Flag Box, so you can let other crews know when you just want to talk. Fight Nights Fight for your Faction every week, and you’ll find yourself earning Allegiance at a vastly increased rate! Each Tuesday, both Factions will be offering doubled rewards to crews who pledge themselves to the cause as they dive into battle using the Hourglass of Fate. Emissaries of Fortune The Trading Companies aren’t going to miss out on grabbing your attention either. Every Wednesday, they’ll be offering a full 24 hours of increased rewards for crews flying an Emissary Flag – including extra gold and reputation to bring your next promotion that much closer. Bilge Rats Weekenders Determined crews will have more chances to earn Doubloons throughout Season 21 as Bilge Rats Weekenders continue to liven up the Outposts and beyond. Alongside the chance to earn those elusive blue coins, crews can also enjoy returning Live Events from Seasons past. Last Ship Standing   Faction fighting isn’t going to be limited to one-on-one battles this Season as Last Ship Standing makes its long-awaited return! Crews will once again be able to venture into the dangerous waters of the Sea of the Damned to fight for survival against a fleet of rival ships. Season Pass Rewards There are rewards to be earned throughout the Season Pass, including Voyages and a bountiful purse of Doubloons to save for the next Bilge Rats Weekender! Every five levels, you’ll also get to choose between three hand-picked items from the Pirate Emporium archives. The final reward for completing each Season Pass is a very special Star Prize – for Season 21, that’s the decision-making Fate’s Light Lantern!   About the Game Sea of Thieves offers the essential pirate experience, from sailing and fighting to exploring and looting – everything you need to live the pirate life and become a legend in your own right. With no set roles, you have complete freedom to approach the world, and other players, however you choose.
