Sea of Thieves Trailer Shows Off Combat

Rare has announced a new alpha test session for swashbuckling MMO Sea of Thieves, which will feature a vast world and explosive combat against skeletons.

Sea of Thieves was first announced at E3 2015 and immediately shot to the top of many gamers' lists of most anticipated games. With a strong focus on working with others to achieve goals, it promised to offer something different to the world of MMOs while also taking full advantage of the swashbuckling pirate setting. Initially set to come out this month, Rare has now changed the release date for Sea of Thieves to sometime this year. Up until then, fans will have to be satisfied with the occasional test-session invitation like the one teased in the new trailer.

In the new Sea of Thieves trailer, Rare highlights few of the improvements without getting into any detail, as the studio seems to want to keep things under wraps as long as possible. The game world will be much bigger than it was during the first session in December and will give players more island to discover which will each offer "new challenges and opportunities." Given examples are hidden coves that will allow players to dig up loot without too much interference, or even a mini-game that will involve stealing a chest of gold and then running away with enemies in hot pursuit.

In Sea of Thieves, enemies will come as both fellow players as well as NPC skeletons: the latter get a decent showing in the trailer as they delay a group of players trying to get back to their ship with a treasure chest in their possession. The main weapon seen in the latest trailer is a gun only in the strictest sense of the word and looks more of a portable cannon that makes short work of the "bags of bones" that seemingly pop up out of the ground.

Sea of Thieves is set to release this year on PC and Xbox One.
