Last month Rare finally explained how Sea of Thieves‘ co-op mechanics worked. Now the studio has now dropped an extended eight minute-long snippet of in-game footage give us even a better idea of the gmaeplay!
As Rare has said previously, in Sea of Thieves each member of your team is given a personalized role during treasure hunting operations. Specific checks and balances stand to ensure this works in practice—for example, the world map can only be viewed below deck which means one player must hop downstairs, check the map, and relay the directions to the rest of the crew above while navigating the ship.
In the footage below you see how it works even during a fight with another vessel.
Sea of Thieves still lacks a release date, but it is expected to launch in the first half of this year . It will be a Microsoft cross-buy Play Anywhere game.
