Sea of Thieves is celebrating its sixth anniversary today, 20th March, and to celebrate, Rare has given an unprecedented look at the year ahead for its multiplayer pirate game, with 2024 bringing the likes of windy horns, roaming warships, and portable grappling guns that let you whizz around the place with giddy abandon.
As for the Bone Caller, it's a new throwable that causes skeletons to spawn out of the ground when tossed, whether on land or sea. Notably, these skeletons ally with whoever throws the Bone Caller, providing additional support in combat. However, opponents can retaliate by throwing their own Bone Caller, leaving the skeletons to duke it out among themselves.
Additionally, harpoon lines are getting a bit of an overhaul; as of Season 12, players can tightrope their way across a taut harpoon line, perhaps to reach an enemy ship or to easily access higher ground. Rare notes players won't be able to walk up a harpoon line if the incline is too steep, but they'll still be able to slide down from the other side.
And finally for today's preview event, Rare offered a sneak peak at Season 14, which closes out 2024. This one's all about bringing stealthier, more mischievous gameplay to Sea of Thieves. Players will, for instance - assuming all Rare's work-in-progress plans come to fruition - be able to crouch in order to move around silently, hang off the sides of ships, even stuff themselves into a chest and scuttle around in the hope that oblivious crews might carry them aboard their boats.
